I was watching simpsons at 0.75 without knowing until a scene where homer and bart were getting back massages at a hotel and the noises they were making were super drawn out like a youtube poop

these are so cool, are you working on a game?

I am not! I'm told I should be making one, though. I can do all the assets like music and graphics but I haven't dabbled with any engines.

I just started making stuff again to work through some bad moods tbh.

It'll be a bit before the next chapter though, since I'm at a conference and have little time to draw the next few days.

For the goonart discord artdome: "create a team of non-human, non-male action fighting heroes"

Went with a 90's sat morning cartoon feel, with the same characters from a previous artdome involving fake band album art.

you should, these are cool. very shin megami tensei or castlevania.

day 12:
- did 1 point perspective on freehand boxes, then checked my work afterwards. i could generally tell when a box was pretty close or when it was off before checking it and my straight lines are getting better. generally happy about this.
- more gesture/anatomy/observation at love life drawing from side poses. this is getting results from hammering it daily and i'm starting to get better at seeing the motion of the muscles in the arms. happy about that.
- decided to try a master study on ANIME FACES as i would like to draw anime fanart at some point. had a friend rec me some artist who does arknights fanart (i barely know what arknights is tbh) and then went to town on copies - traced over it, did a copy without tracing, fixed the untraced copy with the reference as an underlay, fixed the untraced copy without the reference as an underlay, then i repeated that process after drawing it without the reference (so, totally blind).

i am entirely sold on this process because my big takeaway from the first copy i did was how i messed up the cheek and on the blind, no-reference copy i got the cheek basically right. the youtube video i got this process from recommends doing this three times in a row so i'm going to do this again with this art the next two days.

hell yeah old yugioh. all your pixel art stuff has been really cool

day 13 was basically a repeat of day 12 - did three rough one point perspective studies, love life drawing, and continued my master study on the anime head. all of these things improved.

love life drawing has been using a movable 2d model of the body from the front and side as a way of teaching observation, and they took the training wheels off today, saying draw the body without the model but using the shapes. here's what it looks like.



still sketchy, but i've gotten way, way better at seeing poses and proportions in the past 5 days of doing this. they start mannequinization and making the shapes look more 3d tomorrow.

Hey look I actually drew something for once. Well, not counting some art I did for a remix of "House in Hellworld" I'm working on in RPGMaker.

Since video files don't do the thumbnail thing (that I'm aware of) I'll just include a link for the curious.

Day 14

both drawabox and love life drawing introduced involved concepts today in rotating boxes in perspective and doing foreshortening on limbs. i did about half of both but it took about an hour and a half and i was feeling fried.

might go back and do the last master study on the anime head before i rest. working on pacing myself - i know how to do that with music but i kind of dove head first into doing two art ideas at the same time (constructive sketching and figure drawing) and it's kind of a lot to tackle at once.

day 15:
- finished the rotated boxes exercise
- did foreshortening with cylinders. struggled with this until the last pose where i got a betterish foreshortened leg which i was happy about.
- did the third day of anime face blind copy master study. here's the before and after of the part where you draw it from memory without reference - definitely good results, struggled with some things. going to do this again on a piece of art with less crazy hair and a more normal angle to see if i can get it closer.

Found this thread after searching to see if anyone else is doing drawabox and want to emphasize how true this is.

I actually finished my last bit of prebox homework this morning and will be submitting my work for analysis (and I can already tell I've improved my visual eye because I can see areas for improvement where I didn't even know where to start before).

Just wanted to give you a shout-out for doing it and posting it here, gives me a bit of a morale boost to see other folks knocking out these beginning steps.

it's great seeing your practice! i've also been trying to brush up on my fundamentals some more. I wish my drawabox rotated boxes looked as nice as yours lol

lately i've been doing hair in the style of ghibli concept art/storyboards. it's really simple because you don't have to close most of the shapes, you just indicate the flow of the hair with lines and fill it in with tone.

i haven't been submitting because i've been doing everything in procreate, but i'm still really happy with the results from it so far. i wanna finish and get to the point where i'm constructing decent vehicles and animals and stuff before i wholeheartedly sign off on it, though.

thanks! i'm going to have to steal the ghibli storyboard idea for future master studies - i was trying to think of a way to keep doing anime studies while doing something less involved and that's a really great idea.

day 16:
- i decided to split draw a box's 2 organic perspective study sheets into three days, so i did the first third of that. it didn't really click how to rotate the box until about the second half of the second study i did, so i think the next two days will look better than the first (which kind of just has some nice looking boxes not rotating much, lol)
- i had intended on doing some gestural work at love life drawing while working on their ribcage/pelvis/foreshortened limbs idea, but i kind of got into a groove with a couple of poses and ended up spending more time on them instead because i was having fun. here's the last thing i worked on - think it's a step up for my figure drawing. did this at the expense of starting another master study, but i think there's value in sticking with something if you're feeling yourself to cement gains.

inked over a little figure study. i'm still trying to make sense of figures, especially how arms connect to the shoulders and what the deal is with leggies. feel like things are looking sane as long as i'm drawing from reference, but i still haven't internalized the forms for imaginative drawing.

- organic perspective, rotated boxes, looks better than last time
- more figure drawing, looks worse than last time. hands, ugh (the classic artist lament)

- did more figure drawing, working on twisting poses.
- i contemplated another master study but really wasn't feeling it, wanted to do more figure drawing stuff, so i cleaned up a couple more poses.
