[smrr]

Thank y'all for blasting my face off :D! 

GabbyTaylor - Cheers, Gabby <3 though I feel I would be a lot further ahead in my journey had I not burned out and have consistent 2-3 month breaks... :/

Jaktraytr - Aaaaaaaaah well it fell through :D lolol such is life, onward to the next project!

Rshin -  Thanks Rshin! :D I need to get better and focus though ~

 Cyprinus -  Thanks Cyprinus! :D I still feel like I'm taking the smallest, itty bitty steps. 'Cause I keep failing ahaha. Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it! Even though the commission fell through, it still helped me a lot and I would have applied it had the project continued ^_^ scanner's fixed yay! Thanks for popping in!

Alrighty, here's some stuff. 


Studies, experiments (the two monkeys that were done while in a Hangouts sesh - y'all are the best, it was real fun hanging!), studies, stuff for CHOW #11, the ones with the black ink text behind the figures = for Instagram, then we have fails, fails and more fails.













































Edit: some CHOW stuff and a skin study:









It pains me that I'm taking the smallest effing steps at fixing my problems. Really.

The problem with me is that, in order to really get things to sink in -- the best way I can do that is to keep drawing shit. I'm a visual person and to understand how something works, I really have to draw _everything_ out. It's harder for me to draw the thing out without roughing it out. I'm not sure if this'll change in the future, I suppose I'll have to wait and see... but in the mean time, I'm just gonna keep doing the thing Lord Shia wishes me to do.

I'm understanding faces a bit more. Perspective is essential. I've gathered this before, but after not drawing for a bit, you tend to forget the things that you learned. I know this 100% now and I have gone back to how I used to be about feeling anxious when I haven't drawn for a day - because having to relearn shit bloody sucks guys. It really, really does.

Hmm, what's new? 
Welp, the Fireman commission fell through ;_______; . What can you do? I know - move on :D

So It's important now that I figure shit out and work toward building a portfolio (already made thumbs for a couple of things - just about studies and going for it now)

I also have been keeping with a daily goal set list and wrote out my short-term goals and mid-term goals. It's been keeping me so productive @_@ (#whydidntikeepdoingthislikeisuedto? #dumbass)


I also want to work more on the CDGM and eventually get them composition a day studies going. So that shall come. But for now I wanna get this CHOW done before:

Schoolism course starts on July 15 :D just a few more days!

And back to drawing I go ~
