not much this update - been sitting on my ass, staring at my screen blankly trying to figure out shit.

so a couple of sketches - I'm sick of failing so hard when I sketch. I'm fixing this D:<








croc study:


this "finished" "dragon" piece






Okay okay I know it's shit. I knooooow. But holy hell did I learn a lot from it!! Like, I should spend more brain power before I delve into something - think about things like, oh I don't know, composition, lighting, edges, values etc etc. <rant> I also now realise that if only I BLOODY DID MORE ILLUSTRATIVE WORK IN THE PAST... I would've been a lot (pardon my French but...) fucking better by now -- but no, I was such a pussy. If anyone is reading this and only doing studies and not applying them - learn from my mistakes!! Imaginative work is bloody vital to improvement! </rant>
Thank you all once again who helped me polish this turd in the crit thread, really meant a lot - she flipped her shit when I printed it and presented it to her :D
so I guess it worked out, which I'm happy about... I'll be even more excited when I can actually paint! \o/ but what the hey, gotta fight through the cocoon first, right?
On a bonus note: that's actually the first real illustration I made for a friend :) feels good to actually complete something you said you'd do for someone haha
More of that in the future!

Anyways, onward to getting my ass kicked ~
'til next time o/
