Almost the end of December, so that means it's time to officially give up on reaching my goal for NaNoManGo and work on my Christmas card instead.

I am open to suggestions for what text to include on the inside of the card.

Happy Thanksgiving! Santa would mark you naughty or nice if he hadn't moved beyond the simplistic concept of a good/evil binary.

That is a fantastic three-panel bear. I love the shapes you used for his limbs in the second panel.

Maybe one of you would be willing to help me with a problem I'm having.

So I wanted to do a drawing for fun and part of it involved a hand holding a mirror up to the subject's face. Nothing to complex right? Here's a sloppy rough visual of what I had in mind;

So like, two hours later I cannot for the life of me figure out a way to draw this properly. I've tried finding reference pics and even took a photo of myself mimicking the pose but every time I tried to translate it into a drawing it came out awful. This is around the time I'd normally give up but I really want to finish more pictures so maybe one of you could show me how to do this properly?

If you're trying to jump directly from that sketch to a finished drawing you're going to have a difficult time. Now that you have the rough idea of what you want, make the next step to do a more refined but still not finished version of it - leave things rough and unfinished, but add in some more detail - like, draw the mirror actually to scale with the face, rought out the expression on the face, and figure out how the hand holding the mirror connects to the body. Make each drawing an iteration with gradual increases in detail rather than just sketch --> finished drawing.

Also useful in terms of critique would be seeing the drawings you aren't happy with, why you aren't happy with them, what sort of style you're aiming for in the end, and a general idea of where you're at in terms of drawing skill.

Photoshoped two of my drawings together.

Kinda want to develop this more.

C and C welcome.

I am not entirely sure how ears with fabric patches on them and hair can grow directly out of what appears to be a bare skull.

I am making graphics for an iPhone game. The client's budget wasn't large enough for color, so I'm giving him linework he can color on his own.

Also, is there ever going to be a new thread or should we peition the mods to rename this one Daily Drawings and Doodles 2017 + a tiny bit of 2016?
