Study study study study

Lets start off with something completely from my head, something I haven't done in a while: an outfit post.

 

Granted, I wasn't really wearing that today. Because I didn't go out, I was just in my plain ol' oversized t-shirt bearing the symbol of a Guide camp I went to (yeah, it's one of those t-shirts). I figured that was boring, so here's something I wore a while back. Enjoy the picture because it's the only decent looking thing to follow.
Used Photoshop instead of my usual SAI/openCanvas. I do enjoy doing these kind of quick doodles on PS a lot more because the lines are bit thicker and sharper.

While I was already on the program, thought I'd do my enviro on it too. Unlike oC and SAI, PS has textured brushes. I really wanted to be good at using 'em. It didn't save how horrible the enviro came out though, but that should've been expected by now.

Note to self: colour in the background first instead of doing the foreground and then doing the background around it.

I hate shrubbery. Takes forever to do and it looks like crap.

Some 30 second figure drawings using photos and not 3D skinless models.

And finally, more figure drawing, but without the time limit. Yay, I get to analyze pictures of naked/scantily-clothed people longer!

I also started a painting in the morning. All I'll say about that is masking fluid is a pain in the butt to remove.

I wonder how many of these I'll have to do before I actually see improvement

I feel motivated. Since it's summer, and I've got nothing better to do, I guess I'll try improving on my art. Doesn't sound that hard, right? Just two months to become pro. Nothing difficult.

But like any person who wishes to get better, their starting work is gonna suck. I'm no exception.

Here, enjoy some crappy colour practice I did in the past two days.

...and this is the only thing from my head I'll post up. I didn't put too much effort into this one because before I really began, I got fed up with my lack of colouring ability and started to do some study-like practice.

Now get your eyes ready for some crappy enviros (as if the hands weren't crappy enough).

What the hell...

...is this shit?

I'll spare your eyes and move on to something I'm better at: body parts and people.

When in doubt, draw yourself.

And time for something done traditionally.

I sense long nights of practice in my future.
