     So um... yeah. What's up?

Y'all already know why I don't post on here that often so Imma save all of that. Senior year is genuinely getting more hectic as the year goes on. Actually, this school year in general is becoming more eventful for me.

The highlight of this eventfulness is my acceptance letter to Florida Southern with an Ordway (i think) Scholarship! I dunno how tf i got that shit but i am not gonna question! I didn't turn in my SATs yet and they already accepted me... with a not very cheap scholarship... hmm.

Other than that, it was just tests and supporting my friend ever since I was gone.

(Art): This is me just... splattering my brain unto the page while I was at school. I usually doodle at the end of school and then go home to either sleep or do any homework.

I am thinking of another character that was in my head for like... centuries. Imma call him Theas. Not gonna say much on him yet. 

Plus, some motorcycles because I was running low on things to draw so I looked up some motorcycles and tried to find some shapes and patterns between multiple motorcycle models. I hope I can make a good motorcycle some day.

(Art): Just a study of some dude + the two drawings that I did while I was zoomed out. My ultimate strive for likenesses in faces continues! Maybe I could draw some porportion lines on top of the photo, or I could rewatch Dorian's Accuracy Guide again to get some pointers. I dunno, I just want to be able to say yes when the 10091023801928th person ask me to draw them. I was going to do more but I still suck at likenesses so I am going to get back to yall with all of that.

OOOO i almost fucking forgot. The reason why I did this in the first place is because I watched Marco Bucci on Youtube and he made a video where he explained how he finds shadows and lighting while studying. He finds them via very abstract shapes that the painter/illustrator used in their painting. It was really interesting and I wanted to see if I could try that out myself and voila. I am not sure if it is obvious but you can see where I blocked out the abstract shapes for the shadows on his face.

(Art): Pokemon but in a very experimental style. I remember doing these kinds of lineless illustrations back during summer and they were hideous. These don't look too bad tbh. These were pretty fun and quick to do and it helps me relax after a long week. I might do more, but I gotta focus on some other shit.

(Art): This will most likely be the last time I will post another update on this. So that little critique group thing on DeviantArt (where I am pretty sure only one or two people participate in now, that's depressing) gave me some pointers and shit and this is what I shit out. I am not going to mention everything that I changed but I gave a shadow near his cheekbone, altered the background, put some sparkle desu in his eyes (you can barely see it), and I went back in the lineart and drew an actual pocket on his jacket instead of just some rectangle. 

Mmmmmyup, pretty content with this. I'm done, moving on.

(Art): HEAVY modifications with this one. Changed some colors, added texture and simple shading. I was thinking about this character a lot and what his backstory would be like. I was asking myself questions 'Why is he covering so much of his body with a sweater and a jacket?' and what not. The answer was not exactly what I expected but I like the answer. And as usual, imma keep it to myself for now.

(Art): SiiggghhHHHAOIHIAHDIAUGKDGUAIDGLIU. I am actually FUCKING fed up with this damn hand. LIKE, I should've been done with this entire thing already!!! This is literally the only hurdle I need to jump right now and I am tripping and falling on my damn face. The only alternative I have right now is to just scrap that hand all together and go for something simple. Oh wait, there is another hurdle that I have to jump over too. His hands are... normal (but slightly thick). I use my hands as reference and not only are my hands big, my fingers look like

and that is not what Arron's hands look like obviously. So I myself have to imagine these yard sticks as normal (but slightly thick) fingers and I ALWAYS make them look weird and unnatural. DUUUDDEE

...

anyways, I rearranged a lot of things like his right leg and the angle of his legs in general (its really subtle), angle of his left foot, his eyebrows, etc. I added more of those padding looking things on his pants, a couple more details and shoelaces :) I don't want to give up on this piece, I genuinely want to see it completed... but his FUCKING HANDS!




That's it. 

February is my birth month AND Black Panther is coming out AND I get to visit my college AND another month of me sleeping. This is gonna be great.
