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

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

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 😔

i really love making the messy sketches (WIP), and then, completely remastering my own painting... i used to avoid it because i didn't want it to seem like it was finished, but i think i've painted enough of them for people to know i haven't finished yet...! it's super fun drawing that way 🥹

i improved so much at perspective it's not even funny, i'm genuinely amazed 🥹

loid did NOT just say "you're working too much. get some sleep." STOP RIGHT NOW-
