Day 21
4h done

Thanks for the support Kat.

Thanks for the lecture dude. I have felt what it is to work, on a "dry mind" when you are not enjoying any of it and just try and get the hours done. I was experiencing this really bad in summer, when I did 8-10h daily. Im hoping to shape up when summer comes again.
I treat it as a marathon, dont go of sprinting, keep your pace steady. Also I try not to leave half assed works. Other than that I tried do render basic forms and some more advanced ones. I get what you mean by "knowing" and actual understanding. Havent done any short specific studies, but will give it a try.
As for counting hours, I'll keep doing it for motivation and to dedicate me to the goal, I did stop one time in the summer and just did art when I felt like it, but I ended up wasting too much time on video games or movies etc, rather that learning and doing productive work. The important thing is to know how much you can take, and push yourself, but not too much.

I think the most wasteful thing I am doing is not going on with the sketches Ive done, I do the quicksketch and then just leave it there, when I could be continuing it next day and so on until its finished.

There are also some days I feel apathetic towards my goal. I wont get shit done on those days.
Anyway this carefree attitude leaves me in complete lack of productivity and at the end of the day I feel bad.

Finally took the advice and started with the basic shapes, got my ass kicked, but did make me realize that its more than just "main lightsource, reflected light, core shadow etc.


More advanced study


Anatomy study


Character sketch, early wip.


Tried to apply the new way of working to a study. I can see qlimpses of its potential, but still lack the skills to bring it back to reality and make a vibrant image. As of now its still a wip.
