Thanks, Darktiste. I actually like more into on storytelling than animator. The reason I do gesture stuff because I wanted create more emotion behind it. Also somehow I suppose it could help me to draw loosely too. Or I think it looks fun. Lol. Anyway, I'm doing these because I kinda have some vision for what I want. But honestly I actually a little scare for this vision approach as well
The worst that can happen is not doing it.You don't have to show it to the whole world.You don't even have to show it if you don't want to. You right. Guess I need at least try doing it rather regret not doing it later.

I would like to see more of the squirrel and snake story, maybe colored! Thank you, CBinnsIllustration. Appreciate it. I would like to continue that piece but I don't want to rush it either. Perhaps I would continue it on 2022 later :)

Hey there, really nice sketchbook here, I love how you're using all kinds of different media, I think it helps a person to be a more well rounded artist in the end. I particularly love your animal studies from the previous page (those cats are wonderful).

You do have a wide variety in your studies and they're all very precise/deliberate - like you're seeing every sketch to the end and there's no wasted or just confused efforts. It's satisfying to see.

Hi, Artloader. Thanks for the kind words. Perhaps that is my wishful thinking that I can draw anything that I enjoy in the end Haha But I don't want have that kind far expectation yet. I practice doing more on traditional medium because it really help me for delivering more thought out in the process.
@RottenPocket
Thanks, mate. Although I think some of them just totally random when I hype on something Haha
Anyway here other pencil sketch I forgot to upload on December 2021

Lovely sketchbook! Those pencils are very well done. These remind me of when I read kids books to my kids and I'm always very critical of the artwork ( i know i shouldn't be but cant help it), when i see illustrations similar to yours it makes me smile and I tell my daughter "see...this person can draw!" I would love to see some of these with perhaps some subtle watercolors to make them pop. Keep up the great work!

I think you should think about the structure of your head a little more.For example i think you might have a problem which is that you don't understand what under the hair. It a pretty common mistake.I am not sure if you are drawing those head from memory but it seem like it what you are doing to me i am not feeling like you are actually trying to understand the structure of thing but just reproduce what you see which is more about value than structure.I have the feeling you draw more what you see and try to guess until you get happy accident correct me if i am wrong but the quality of your line suggest this to me.
You can find an example of the mistake i am sharing with you here.About hair and what underneat

Edit* Going back a little in this sketchnook i notice a few head construction i think you just want to try to do atleast 10 of those every week that seem like a reasonable goal i would say.If you got more time and feel like you would benefit from it try more.But if anything try to get caught up in the detail you want to go with wireframe and value and line i would say.

Man I love the variety of animals! I also can't help but notice your grasp of different styles too- painterly, line/ink, graphic, and even a deliberate control of shape language. Seeing that you're working on more humans lately, I can already imagine the possibilities combined w your level of polish and storytelling :) keep em coming dude

Ah yes, I understand your point. What you said absolutely right about being no structure on those sketches. I can easily do structure in digital by just creating separate layer, undo, transform etc. But in traditional I need different approach. And that is very hard for me because I can't rely anything what digital could do. So sometimes I lost my sense doing structure and just wanted go for shape and value. Bad habit of mine at least. Maybe you asking why I'm not just use digital? Well the answer is simple I just wanted to get better and want to avoid relying too much on digital tool hahaha.
I absolutely try to do more of these. And will try avoid those mistake :)

I just too bored and too much spare time. Lol. Joke aside, I think I wanted to find my inner child again with the reason why I draw. I never thought drawing for fun is much better and more productive. That's my common regret that I didn't do it in the beginning

cats sketches study and random dog Your linework is very interesting. I'm wondering how you're drawing. I think you'd benefit from trying a variety of different ways to draw lines - from the wrist, vs the shoulder, etc. Your linework seems a little hesitant to me, but it looks good when it's fully developed in your drawings (the cats, the trees, and those drawings). Do you ever draw large?

I rarely draw large on Traditional but I interest to do them on the future. I still have a habit wanted to rush everything. That something I wanted to avoid.

For the no more war i think you could have the gun break or atleast bend a little bit for extra dramatical effect.Also a classical imagery that signify peace is the flower sticking out of the gun barrel.

That's good suggestion. Because I already doing colored when reading this, I think I'll just try add some scratch of the gun as oppose making them looks break. Thanks :)
