Preparing a little chiptune cover of a song that is stuck in my head since its release!
The song fits the MegaDrive/Genesis soundfont so well!

What to do when you struggle in #GettingOverIt? Watch a motivation pup talk from #FuwaMoco and smile again :D

Submission to the friendly contest I'm taking part of. The theme was "Guitar, Mermaid, Peafowl, Sombrero"
I can really see improvements in the lineart (thanks #DrawABox), color wise it's still very rough.

Draw another weapon with the first one. It was fun. Still a beginner, still learning, but having fun is MASSIVE

I really wanted to draw yesterday evening. So right before bed, I took my drawing tablet and drew a little something. A magic staff apparently.
I'm really happy because it came pretty naturally, with no references. But I'm sure this shape exists somewhere :D

Second batch of exercise from #DrawABox. Ellipses are freaking hard for a beginner like me! But once again, I could feel the improvement during the exercise.
It feels good. I'm excited to see the improvement once I redo these later on.

Submission to the friendly contest I'm taking part of. I had to merge a Dik-Dik and a Caracal.
I rushed a lot because of the deadline, plus, I never drew any animal or fur before.
I don't like this drawing at all. But it motivates me to get better. That's cool.

Forgot to post my progress yesterday! #LearningToDraw
Lineart is done, and I started some basic coloring.
I can already tell it's gonna look a bit strange, but it's my first time drawing animals. And I'm already terrified about drawing the hair

#LearningToDraw WIP for the contest I usually do with friends.
The goal is to merge two animals, a dik-dik and a caracal. So I'm trying to sketch a dik-dik with caracal ears

Submission to the friendly contest I'm taking part of. The random words were "Watermelon, Canyon, Caterpillar"
For the first time, I'm proud of the idea. The drawing itself is still very shaky, but I can still see the progress.

Just found my YT music rewind thingy. Despite being a metalhead, as a grown up man, I'm apparently addicted to the cutesy japanese songs of @nanahira.jp
And I love it.

First batch of exercise from #DrawABox. It was pretty draining, but also very interesting to experience. I could see myself improving during the exercise, proving once again that practice is key.

Submission to the friendly contest I'm taking part of. The random words were "Monkey, Bat, Temple"
Done in an evening, tried out #ClipStudioPaint brushes, really fun as a beginner
To respect #DrawABox 50% rule, no references except for the monkey's shape

I also tried to replicate a real workflow: rough sketch, line art, flat colors and finally shading. It's funny how my first sketch was too thin, but my final line art was too wide.

This took a couple of days: another reproduction where I learned SO MUCH. I also moved from Photoshop to Clip Studio Paint, which is more intuitive for someone like me with no experiences, and also not subscription based.
I'm really proud of this one.

Same friendly contest as ep. 13. This time it was "Hammer Shark, Armor, Algae". I did this 30min before the deadline. I can clearly see characteristics of the previous Clefairy drawing in here. I've learned, and I'm using those new skills on something different.

November 11th 2024, took a break because I started a new job. I participated in a little friendly art contest based on random words. "Starfish, Bulldozer, Space" gave this. I tried to stick as close as possible to NES limitations for that one (visuals and music)

All right. Now let's get REALLy serious. September 13th 2024. This took a LONG time compared to my previous attemps, but DANG it looks good.
It's a fat Clefairy, and the colors aren't right, but it's a massive motivation boost.

Apparently, perspective is important. So on September 13th 2024, I studied basic perspective. Doesn't look good, but at least I understood how it works. And that what mattered.

There we go. September 9th 2024, I took my drawing tablet out of its dusty coffin, and plugged it in once again!
Definitely took more time and care on this one. It has some old school flash game vibes.

End of 2022, I took a couple of lessons from an friend, that asked me to draw as much as possible. I did it for a couple of days, before two years of hiatus. I'm almost proud at some of those. Next episode is my ongoing attempt at learning how to draw.

January 11th, 2022. I traced this Super Meat Boy, and it was pretty instructive. But this was more about how to use Photoshop than actually drawing. But as the result looked decent, it helped me going for a bit. A bit means one more drawing.
