Omg so many comments! o_0
ZombieChinchilla - That's good to hear! Working and still squeezing in those hours for drawing? Dang I look up to your discipline! Thanks and I do need to work on edges.
lillysparks - Thanks! Yeah school can be such a time hog. Let's grab it by the tail this year!
crackedskull - You're totally nailing school+art study. If I find myself struggling with time management this school year, I'll be reminded of your example. Also thanks for all those suggestions. I'll try walking outside for breaks as I tend get to lost in internet la la land.
Zearthus - Sage words. Yep I tend to stress hours too much- quality of study and moderation matter too. Thanks! And that article is a great reminder of the big picture..in art and life in general.
Gliger - Thanks! Usually I draw really roughly but I'll try drawing planes as well.

Alrighty so last time I said I'd draw 6 hr the next day. Heh heh. I did more like 2.5 hr. Today I focused harder and got 5.5-6 hr. Mostly drawing studies. The last hour felt rather forced though..like my brain was getting tired of trying to copy stuff. I think I should study a bit less and do more creative stuff. After all, that WIP won't finish itself ;)
To begin, something from yesterday- Cats! Drawing 4 legged animals still eludes but I have to remember that I've spent much more time drawing humans from life. But the nearest living cat I know of is fat and mostly just naps in the shade. :3 Source 1 , 2
Today I warmed up with some figures from head. Argghh will study back muscles tomorrow...
Then I sketched rooms. I tried to add some hierarchy to the lines. Later I reviewed some boring perspective theory. This is one of my major weaknesses - I'm trying to figure out how to create interesting, convincing spaces from imagination.
Lastly I studied hands. I regret neglecting hands for so long but oh well. Source
And here's some random scribble scratch:
Tomorrow I'll do more color and artsy things. And get more sunshine!
