taking notes on hatching/linework for art that i like and then trying them in practice.

i feel like art studies have been so great for understanding a different perspective or take, but i feel like it's difficult to balance copying the lines with absorbing the technique.

started a new challenge for myself to draw a scene every week. i feel like i need to start practicing the things i want to draw vs studying how to draw them. so with that being said...

the scene of this week is a fight scene!

more 3 value portrait studies

these studies are absolutely changing the game in how i view painting and drawing in general. the replication looks complex, but it's actually VERY doable, especially when starting with simpler shapes. can't reccomend these enough.

black and white value studies

came across a youtube video that i'll link in a comment but

kinda changed the game for me. reducing everything in an image to just black and white really helped train my eye to see just the essentials. will be doing these a LOT more.

value background study

i actually really enjoyed doing this study. started by blocking out the darkest values and move upwards. also tried keeping the shapes as big as possible and progressively added detail as values got lighter.

but how do i translate this to colors...

this feeling of wanting something that's difficult to obtain in your life.

Despite all my complaining about my inadequacy as an artist, I still maintain an optimistic outlook on where I can grow from here.

Hopefully this encourages and helps yall feel the same.

fight for my life in order to draw something somewhat decent in my eyes.

But the difference is that, for some reason, with art.. I'm constantly trying to figure out WHY it doesn't make sense and HOW I can make it less challenging

jin @jinkgo.bsky.social · May 11

I've always been the type to give up on something if I didn't have an innate knack for it. If it didn't make sense from the get go, I would lose interest and move on. That is, until I started drawing.

I complain a LOT about things not making sense and about having to-

armor studies

i'm starting to realize that i am really inexperienced at painting. there is so much more to explore in regards to values, shapes and COLORS (god, colors...)

link is the son of a blacksmith and eventually uses the triforce of courage to FORGE his own master sword.

i loved the idea of ganon being more sympathetic character consumed by rage, so the idea that his initial desire to help people was overtaken by a obsession to seize power.

Legend of Zelda Samurai AU

the more i doodle these ideas, the more i make up more brainrot lore

here's what i got so far:

zelda is raised as a farmgirl by impa. the triforce of wisdom is connected to the mark in her forehead and allows her to see visions of the future. 1/2
