I don't usually share my stupid doodles but I want to try and be more creative so I thought I'd force myself to share.

I've been meaning to start serious practice and improve but never seem to have the bandwidth for drawabox or whatever.

I liked this one, especially for the shading around the eyes

If you switch over to pixel mode and use the erase tool, you can erase part of the stroke you have selected(it will automatically just make a mask). It's a bit fussy until you get the hang of it, but easy when you do. I don't really vibe with node points either, that's tooooo fussy.
Painting in pixel mode/photo is pretty similar to raster painting in any other program(CSP/Photoshop at least, not stuff like Rebelle).

Here are some dudes I drew this week for a buddy's ttrpg zine.


I like what you did with the folds of the clothing here. It looks really natural!

One of my first attempts at the Loomis method- I liked it! It was somewhat intuitive. Still not feeling super on point with shading etc. Especially on the mushrooms. It's easier with a floating eyeball and single shadow

Actually started drawabox today too, in earnest.

Also should I be hiding these behind spoilers? I know I'm not pushing the envelope by any means but I also know not everybody wants to see gross stuff

Good luck! I started August last year and recently finished lesson 5. I tried it for free a few years ago but gave up, but this time I'm paying to get feedback so that helps to keep me going since even though it's quite cheap I don't want to waste my money. I'm doing one lesson/challenge per month so should be done with the whole thing around May this year.

A lot of the exercises are hard and will look like poo poo, but they definitely make you better at understanding how things exist in 3D space

That's really cool! I'm glad you're sticking with it. I have a question about it- do you submit an entire lesson at once? So I can wait until I have lesson 1 done and then sub to the patreon?

It turns out I hate drawing for fun with pen and paper, if only because it's not easy to erase. I did a bunch of drawabox homework today and went to draw for fun and am just blocked

Drawabox is really hard. You'd think ghosted planes would be more straightforward but damned if I can't draw a straight line.

My awareness of perspective and where things should be is starting to pick up. Like on the guy with the axe there, more of his face should be showing on the other side of the ax.

Many many more sketches to go but hopefully if I look back here I'll see improvement in a year.

Seeing other people's homework on drawabox has also helped, because I got really frustrated with the ghost planes but I need to realize that it's practice, not supposed to be perfect.
