I was given a project I said I could do in a month, was told I had 2 weeks, and a week in a half in my boss is trying to showcase it to someone and complains something isn’t working.

Went shopping with a friend yesterday and got a bunch of girl clothes to celebrate my step towards getting on hrt and LEGGINGS ARE SO COMFY.
Having to swap back to pants to go to work this morning is a tragedy

My motivation to exist on the internet is maybe slightly back, and hopefully maybe to art again? This stuffs hard, anyone out there accomplishing stuff, even something like making your bed, you’re doing great

Been suffering a low mental state lately so I apologize for the lack of art progress x.x I haven’t given up tho! Just giving myself the mental break when brain needs it

I feel stuck, I’m doing a little art each day for the most part but it doesn’t feel like I’m gaining anything from it, practicing drawing smoother lines is something I need to work on, but I’m not sure what other basics to study to get my art up to a consistent (although beginner) standard

Starting Smol Day 10: Ohhhh that's how vanishing points work
Spent some times messing around with my little practice cubes before I realized that there isn't a "correct" way to draw a cube from each angle, and now I've figured out vanishing points and perspective grids so much more.

Starting Smol Day 9: Perspective practice?
Been struggling to think how to really practice perspective, and I ended up with this! I made a sheet with inlines and outlines, hide one of them and try to fill in the other, then compare to the original image! Hopefully this helps me practice a little!

Starting Smol Day 8: learning perspective tools, and a heart for valentines <3
most of today was spent just figuring out lots of tools like symmetry lines, perspective lines, different kinds of curves, etc, and a heart for cuteness and cause its a little more complex than a sphere haha #artpractice

No art today cause I have to much adulting to do, I need to find some tutorials on perspective and perspective tools to go over when I have more time!

Starting Smol Day 7: Cuuuuube!
It's not a sphere! hehe, I was planning to do more perspective style practice, but it turned more into just learning more about Clip Studio Paint tools mostly, and then I decided since it was sitting there I should try shading a cube. I think I did alright!

In total, here is my first week of art practice! I have literally no experience, and just took the very simple goal of drawing a good looking sphere and took it step by step. Some video tutorials, some advice from artist friends, and a bit of learning to use the right tools!

Starting Smol Day 6: The final sphere!
after 1 week (with 1 day break) learning to draw, I'm honestly surprised how quickly I've started to improve! my goals were simple but I'm really proud of them. I'm gonna need to find something new to practice now, maybe something to play with perspective?

Starting Smol day 5: Yet another sphere
What can I say, it feels like really good shading practice. Today I used an ellipse tool so I could just focus on shading, and I made proper use of layers and WOW it feels like I'm really getting somewhere, gonna do some new stuff soon!

Heck i didn't do art today, got distracted taxiing a friend around in ffxiv who just started lol
Too tired now so honestly I'm just gonna take it as a rest day and not make too much of a job out of it to the point it takes then fun away, I'll make sure to get something done tomorrow though!

Starting smol day 4: minor improvements. Took some advice from an artist friend, and pretty sure I forgot almost all of it by the time I was drawing again LOL. Very slight improvement, but it's friday, I had a long week at work, I'm just gonna relax and not stress too much x.x 30 more minutes down!

Just refactored my library crate into 7 modules, that was long overdue and tiring, but very satisfying. Now to continue migrating more scripts from python into rust

Starting Smol Day 3: Sphere
Trying to get a sphere to look 3d, I think I did an okay job? it's really hard to figure out how to improve it >.< I also did a very quick shadow, very wobbly but it looks okay for being pretty rushed today! 30 mins spent drawing today, total, 1 hour 50 minutes
