Hello, this is me.

I'm having some issues with figuring out lighting on this little thing. I haven't tried drawing in a good few years, so I'm pretty sure my perspective is hosed somehow as well.

I can post the clean image as well, but this is as much as I think I've figured out. After this hurdle it'll be trying to colour it so it isn't just flat and boring.

Seeing as it was a drawthread request I decided to trying something a bit more out there, at least for me, and I'd love for someone to give it a bit of a critique so I know what to improve next time. I'm already certain that I've got its left arm in a kind of broken position, and there's something funky going on with the perspective towards the bottom half.

Also not sure if this is a good idea but I've found that going through draw threads like on /tg/ is great for finding things you wouldn't usually think to try drawing.

I keep going into a loop of trying to improve myself, and just not getting anywhere because I either discourage myself or get distracted. Now that I'm working 9-5 in a low wage job that I have no wish to stay in, I decided it's time to stop loving about and just change my life. Third times the charm, but I'm going to draw every day, as much as I can, in between all the stuff I have to do that I don't want to. Previously I had more time when I was neet so I think I turned something that I love and feel inspired by into a chore. Not sure how I'll change that this time, but in the meantime I took a crack at the "bouncy ball" exercise I remember seeing in a friends copy of that animators handbook.

What up, ball bounce bud? :respek:



Mine's a ton rougher though; I'm not really used to working digitally. Think I'll try a pendulum next to practise spacing.

Man, if I had a penny every time I Ctrl-Z drawing a circle. I don't think I'm helping myself by drawing with my wrist on a tiny tablet.

Really starting to get burned out with the Draw A Box stuff. Between working 8-6 and having very little free time once I'm home, getting through the challenges is torture.

Made an attempt at the second example in Lesson 3 of draw a box. I need more texture practice but I think my construction and form is slowly coming along.

I've lapsed over the last month and a half but I'm slowly getting back into studying every day, this was my last attempt - I feel like I've come a decent way over the last couple of months but my texture game is still poo poo.
