@ShinOkami
Thanks so much!

Thanks, man! I've got a whole bunch to post today.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

So, this last week I was noticing that I frequently cut off figures before the legs, usually because I made the drawing too big or it runs into another image, so I've been actively trying to draw more full figures, especially standing poses since I struggle with them if I'm just trying to draw straight without having to fix a lot of stuff.
Also doing imaginative drawing since I hadn't in a while, checking my progress. I want to work a lot more on drawing more natural bodies, I default to kind of grossly curvy/cartoony bodies, and while I love cartoonish styles I'm not nailing the kind of images I want to create. So, in the next week I want to continue focusing on figure drawing/pose studies to a higher and more prolific degree. Also on the itinerary is character studies, composition studies (still grossly inadequate at comp) aaaand.... environments. YARGH. Perspective and hard-surface is my natural enemy, I started a little today and the outcome is not good.

My pace for drawing has been 4-5+ pages a day, I have 60 pages left in my sketchbook and I'd love to kill it before school starts so I'm going to try to kick it up to 10+ pages a day for the next couple days. I'm also debating getting a much bigger sketchbook for during the semester, so I can draw people the size I like to... but then I'll have so much more space to fill, which is not necessarily a good thing. ''OTL I have a really intense semester ahead of me, and I'm SO excited.

Without further ado, here's my drawings since the last post, the good the bad and the ugly.




And I started painting again a little, need to get back in the groove before I can do some of the painting studies I ought to do :U


I've also been wasting time scrolling through Algenpflegere's sketchbook, really makes me feel like I need to work MUCH harder, which is ironic because I'm losing time looking at his stuff. That guy's improvement is so insane, goes from 0 to pro in like a year.
