Yo yo yo! Back for another round of sketches!

I've been feeling pretty isolated on this website. Not because of the people (not that much people interact with me anyways), but there are so much artists on here who does fantastic digital art and still life and clean lines and perspective and anatomy studies and value studies, etc. I'm over here still doing dumb character designs. Sure there are some cartoony people on this site, but they are also capable of creating realistic pencil drawings with smooth lines. Of course, I only had almost two years of self-teaching while others had four to six years. And their most likely in college with teachers and outside help.
(Art): A bunch of gestures of a fat woman. I really needed this. Drawing slim and muscular people is tiring now, and I need to know different body types for better character variation

I shouldn't worry about it honestly because I have so much time to hone my skills while interacting with (a few) people on this website.
Speaking of people interacting with me, I dunno why, but when I see that someone replied on my sketchbook, my heart beats like I just ran from a dog. I like to think that it is just excitement that someone is finally going to drag me so I can have a clear direction now. Naw, it was either a pat on the back or telling me that literally all the photos are gone on my sketchbook. Thank you... but FUCK I get my hopes up too much bro.
(Art): More female figures and an anatomy study of the legs. The main thing I did now is that form and placement was my main concern. I'm also learning a lot too even though I was studying the thighs for two thousand years. The more muscular the legs, the more developed the quads and that oval shape between the quads are. The more developed the quads are, the more it covers that thin strand of muscle that wraps around the entire thigh. If the leg is not as developed, you can see a clear line going diagonally on the leg dividing the... "pelvic muscle strand area near the pelvis??? (I think it is called... the radius?)" and the main leg muscles. There is also a main rhythm I have found. That thin strand on muscle also flows right into the side of the knee area creating a beautiful c-curve. I demonstrated it on almost all of the leg figures on the right page.

And the worst thing is happening every time I go on this site, I will low-key start comparing myself (And I'm doing a pretty good-ass job at not doing that). Usually not by how their art looks (it can be, like seeing a shaded skull that looks good makes me cry), but it is the thing that is non-drawing related. Passion. I see people like Raph (link) who does mountains of just hands, legs, figures, value studies, Loomis studies, character designs, storybook illustrations, visual library improvement etc. And he is doing this in a weekly basis. I'm over here doing 1/8 of that a day with little digital millage.
He does so much studies and sketchbook pages, I feel like I need to stop typing this shit out and start doing some faces. Like... 6 pages of them. I want to surpass Raph and all the other artists who put so much love and care into their work but my brain just dies out when I needed it the most!
(Art): After last's night little leg muscle session, I started with some refreshment on the leg bones. Turns out I was pushing the upper bone WAYYY too far to the left. Looking at it now, that thing does not look okay... But now I know not to exaggerate so much.

I'm not saying this out of jealously or spite for these people. Just admiration. Even though some people on here will look at my studies and say that I'm passionate... I just don't feel it. Will I ever feel that sense of passion? I dunno honestly, but I feel like it is possible. And the fact that I think it is possible... and I still cannot brand myself as "passionate", there is something wrong. And I'm going to fix it. Starting in January, I'm going to obtain Photoshop and a new sketchbook and I WILL complete this new sketchbook in a month's time.
It is going to be full of hands, feet, human figures, perspective, composition, character designs, lighting studies, value, everything!! (Well, I might have to slow down so I can actually retain the information).
If I come back to this website and not achieve my goal by the end of January. I'm not gonna quit art, but I'm going to punish myself, severely. It is time for me to get self-discipline to smack me in the face so I can reach people like Anthony Jones and Raph and (little bit of a stretch here...) Bengus, long time artist for Capcom... It's time to get my shit together.
(Art): Some more female figures and butts. It is was a late night thing so not much here.
Welp, that's it from me. Till next time! Bye now.
