The day I woke up.

Hm, change of fate.

Today I find myself at an impasse.

Before my goal was to draw erotic things, but, maybe I want to reach further beyond.

Requires further study.

What Am I Doing??

I should've been drawing the past 4 hours.
I should be drawing RIGHT NOW.
But I need to post to get this out of my head.

I NEED TO FIND BY RHYTHM FASTER IN THE DAY BUT I"M GOING NOW

Drawing and time

Drawing takes time.

When you're learning to draw it takes a lot of time to learn all of the things you need to learn to become a great artist.

A lot of the times when I'm drawing I'll pause and think... "I'm still learning this??" After the hours and days that are going by you think why is it taking so long? Because it does. That's what drawing is and what it takes. It takes hours and hours of you hauling ass over each thing to learn. Anatomy, Figures, Perspectives, Etc. All of that takes time, repetition, understanding, time, repetition, understanding. All the while you might think you're not learning much but take a break and doodle your favorite character and you'll see that hauling ass probably made quite a difference from the last time you tried that.

Haul ass. Haul ass then draw ass. Really nice looking ass because you hauled your own ass to get that ass.

Drawing is slow. You will probably learn slow. That's okay, keep fucking drawing dummy.

Also, it helps that you have some rivals.
Tip: Have a rival, even one-sided.

But whatever you do, haul your ass, no matter how slow it will make a difference when you make dat work. Learn more. Get that mileage NOW.

Sushi is 90% rice.

I have lost count on how many times I have drawn Katrinn's face.. <3 br="">

Dizzyyy rant and stuff

Lots of people I know keep telling me to start doing commissions based on what they see me draw.
Still have a long way to go but they don't know the things I can't do.
Drawing and Painting has a lot of things going on, they only see the things I can do through work I show and not the ugly stuff in my practice/sketchbook.

I keep getting compliments on my "style".
What style? I don't have a style yet, I use a different style every time I make a piece because I'm still trying to find my style. It's amazing how much people can tell about you based on one drawing.

blahblahblahb  Paralysis by analysis -  thinking scientifically while drawing.
thinking about grammer before you're talking
some guy tried to make a perfect novel, and never finished.

On style
Probably going to be more on the realistic side. I do like cartoony stuff though.. hmm.

I'm trying to say, I don't want to bust out "work" yet... I'm still learning. Once I find a good pace and spot in competence I'll be able to move forward. But of course, I'm not aiming for perfection.

Still drawing-

I lied in my earlier post...
There is way more passion I feel for drawing.
An infinite amount of passion.
Not a little, a LOT.
I want to art forever.

Also, when I said that drawing was easy and people are weird for not knowing how to draw.
I take it all back.
Drawing is complicated shit.
There are a lot of things that go into a single art.
Lots of things are going on at once.
Lots of rules, but lots of freedom.
Fundamentals are no joke, but lots of fun.
I will reach all of my goals and dreams.

An earlier time

 My prologue in drawing probably started in D&D. While I was bored I drew my character and got praised for it. I guess I'm pretty simple when it comes to being rewarded when telling me I'm good at something, but the feeling stuck with me that day. I still thought the drawing was garbage, but I liked being told that something I created was 'really good'. From here I thought, "I could do better...". Also drawing was a reason I decided to keep playing D&D, because I liked the setting and characters. So I have to thank D&D for fueling my drawings, and my drawings for helping me appreciate D&D. Most of all, I have to thank my DM for starting my inspiration spark. Through D&D I learned what I really loved to do.

These all were probably drawn 2 years ago? before I thought about drawing for cereal.

 

Here I had my first character. At first she was a little girl but I changed her design. I knew 0% of the rules and she was a cleric with Hellknight armor and 10k fortune cookies. I was always a fan of contradiction between character looks and personality but my devil look could use work hahahah. As you can see here I was very lazy and created a head to replace the old one for the final thing. ;;

 This was another character I drew for my partner. I drew everyones character but I only have some saved. Again, I just drew what I knew, easy stuff. You can see how safe I tried to be when drawing back then.

 The friends who played D&D more than the rest of us had the most interesting character designs, I'm disappointed I did not get to a certain alchemist character but I'll probably someday get back to him, he was my favorite. Anyway, this bitch character here is a character one of them made. She wasn't anything too special but she was an elf and I wanted to try drawing their ears so I had to draw her. I unexpectedly learned a lot when handling her.

 ugh.

 My friends were happy about this version of her... but meh.

 I got very irritated by the first result so I redid her design. I learned I was terrible at designing clothes.

 What I really liked about doing this character was that the player she belonged to was very picky about details like her hair, especially about her hair, so I had to learn how to make the hair more interesting.

After I didn't finish colouring her I went on hiatus for awhile. Then today I saw these drawings. Today, they are very weird to me.
