man, i never realized how much you really have to be comfortable with the concept of death to work in the ICU 😳

it's truly what i was aiming for, and i'm just so happy for that- i'm bouncing off the walls 😭

i find myself problem-solving when it comes to stuff like A.) perspective- is it consistent?, B.) the 3d form of objects, even like hair and clothing, C.) and anatomy. i think that all the studying and practice i've been doing actually pays off, it's surprising... and i draw soft too, like paper...

okay. NGL. when i was drawing... earlier... it was... so... easy? like... i was so shocked... i made that entire sketch in less than an hour- that's actually insane for me... i think i've generally improved more than i really know... you know- it's hard to explain to another person, but i KNOW it...

i never thought i'd be able to do that thing that books mention where you practice turning poses in space but... i actually can try now... 😭

should i take more time drawing something like falling in mid-air, or some kind of photoshoot pose? falling or floating sounds cooler, but... definitely... never really drawn anything like that before...

i still haven't finished that purple loid and yor drawing- i want to try redoing the pose/composition... but i'll definitely finish it

i'm getting that feeling again, like i'll end up drawing in a different way than i have before 🤔

5 more shifts until i work nights again... 5 ½ more weeks until i'm free... things wil get better 😭

y'know what... if morisaki win had been the first loid i watched instead of hiroki suzuki, i would've fallen over myself! 😭 MAN, he looks good...!!!!

i think my favorite type of illustration style is abstract and pretty, but i know that people really love drawings that tell stories... which don't *really* need to be pretty... and i'm the same way-

i want to draw them looking really pretty, but it also need to have a story... aigoo 😵‍💫

okay so, with IRL figure drawing...

1. i need to watch some videos to understand what that shading technique is... they don't exactly teach us in class how to do it...

2. i'm not doing a good job of measuring for accurate proportions 🤦‍♀️ i'm kinda just winging it... i sacrifice quality for speed 🥲

for my first time, i'm so shocked 😭😭😭 i think charcoal is so unpredictable but fun to work with when it comes to people!

the drawings were 30 min - 15 min - 25 min

I STARTED USING CHARCOAL 😭🤯

first day of figure drawing: "my drawing pad... it's so precious, i must make sure it doesn't bend and carry it carefully"

third day of figure drawing: *drawing pad has been bent, pages ripped out, drawings scattered everywhere* LOL

i DID end up making that new brush!

i only have 2 more weeks until i work night shift again. 2 more weeeeeeks!

therefore, while i'm SUPER excited about SXF's release, i decided to direct the time off i had towards improving the comfort of my my office/desk, cleaning, and redecorating for future purposes because i have a lot of new hobbies... 🥹 best random decision ever!!!

i didn't make many drawings lately because i burned myself out at work 😭 i pushed myself too hard by going to work when i'd only had 1-4 hours of sleep... that's really bad, but i just can't do morning hours. my orientation is day shift for 8 weeks, and i'm on week 6.

it's taken a toll on my body 😔
