Taunty's Sketchbook: Learning to Not Be Bad!

[Taunty]

A short update before I start with the progress:

I haven't been doing a good job keeping up with my drawing. I went on vacation a couple weeks ago, and when I came back, the friends who I had gone to see and considered my best friends before they moved away completely and utterly dumped me. Neither of them wanted anything to do with me anymore. This came as a huge hit to me as I keep a very small group of friends. I suffer from depression already and with this, I just couldn't handle it anymore. I broke down and just ceased everything because I had no motivation to do anything but force myself to go to work, sleep, and play video games. I'll post what I have but, admittedly, it isn't much at all. I did some drawing during the vacation and a drawing just the other day when I could actually bring myself to pick up my pencil. While I'm mostly functioning as normal, my motivation to draw is still at a record low. I'm forcing myself to do it and I'm working on feeling better. I don't know why I'm telling this to a bunch of internet strangers I don't know. Maybe it's just to say it because it makes me feel better about it. Who knows. 

Thanks for reading this if you did. Now on with the sketchbook. 



While I was on vacation, I had brought a couple issues of manga with me, namely One Punch Man 8 and 9, and Nichijou 3 and 4. I decided to reference some pictures from both while in my hotel. 

So this one is my first real attempt at thumbnail sketching. I was drawing this for my friend for Christmas. She's also an artist and has a ton of characters. This is supposed to be her favorite, named Angel. I'm not usually one for animal ears on humans, but whatever. Also tried something new with the hair here. 


More SU stuff. 

Was practicing the Vilppu Drawing Manual style of doing gesture drawings. Did some Hanzo and a kind of Widowmaker attempting a new style. 


Did some Taokaka while on my break on Christmas Eve. I liked how it turned out, did the arm bones right before I posted this. 

Thanks again for reading guys, as always, critique is welcome.
