I really fucking hate this bullshit. It’s one thing quitting because I either want to stop or don’t care to continue.
But I DO want to keep going. I DO want to keep drawing. I DO want to see what my art is like years from.

Non zero chance I need to give up. Not because I want to.
Not even because I don’t enjoy it.
But because my shoulder is kind of getting jacked up and I need to test if this is why.
I’m so fucking upset about this fucking shit. I fucking do my physiotherapy but it might not be enough right now.

I have noticed something neat.
30s gestures went from this:
bsky.app/profile/ashw...
Into actual forms:
I mean they’re rushed as hell.
But you can at least roughly tell what’s going on.

Day 10?
Can share everything today.
+ suppose 1st actual drawing. Construction is a fucking mess, felt like havent got handling of that yet + gesture being a mess.
Fineliner doesn’t help, only so much pressure control can practice.
I don’t want to talk about the hair. I input no effort there lol.

Heads are my problem area right now.
I think I have enough skill to go for the body at least.
Again, not well, but it’s about even being able to at all.

Censored stuff based on others work. Mostly attempts at head construction using loomis method
So some gestures and heads
Also lines because I wanted to fill the page and couldn’t be bothered doing anything more lol

Felt okay enough to do gestures
(10 from reference)
Still have no clue what I’m doing, can’t really tell if my technique is right.
Also spent 20 mins on a page of some rudimentary faces (at least attempting), trying butts, and backsack.
Dunno if I’ll share those since technically based on others

Hmm neck is playing up
I don’t know if it’s a flare up or a regression 😭
Soo I might slow down or temporarily stop
Which is really annoying cuz I need to make a habit and this is breaking it.
But physio comes first.
Sorry

I think try to copy others heads for now? At least something, until I get enough of a hang to understand what to do.
I’ve got no clue what but anything is still forwards

Question. I’m stuck on gestures, where do I go from that??
Like this is what I mean when I say I don’t have minimum skill yet.
Ok I can do gestures.
Do I build a figure over that?
Do I try head tutorials and implement that over figure drawing???
(Also doing this with a 0.5mm fineliner).

Still no idea what I’m doing. I attempted torso studies but didn’t go well and got bored lol.
10 gestures from ref
5 from imagination.
Then a page of just random doodles and boxes

About 1 min each?
We’ll see with the timing.

Also I’m currently using 0.5mm fineliner, should I get a smaller one for undersketching or whatever it’s called?
Like 0.1mm or 0.05? (Or would 0.2 or 0.3 be enough?)
Also should I get a red one for redlining?

I know it’s stereotype that fledgling artist don’t know anything, but how exactly do I study 👉👈
Like I know I need to learn heads and torsos, but like, how exactly do I do that, do I get a bunch of refs and break them down into simple shapes?
Just recreate them a bunch until it clicks? Or what?

For studies I should get references of the specific body part and break them down into basic shapes right?

Think first fineliner might be dying. It’s part of a multipack so it’s fine.
This is more what gestures are supposed to look like right???
Obviously they’re way worse, but I’m trying for technique over accuracy? Or should I go back to how I’m doing?
Took that advice? away from a video, so I dunno

Ugh I’m using 0.5mm fine liner for everything so I can’t really vary line weight too much. I think I need thinner ones, but I dun wanna (that shit costs money)

Hmmmm
As much as I’d rather avoid it studying head and torso makes the most sense right now.
Get busts down first, then graduate to the rest of the body.
