thank you! I'll have a look :D

bel dame apocrypha is solidly on my list now, which of the short stories do you recommend? i wanted a reason to pick up another collection anyway haha

first time reading something by her, I had the name tumbling around in the back of my head and just picked this up when I saw it in a used book store. def put me onto reading more

finished Emperor of Thorns. think I forgot to post about it. had a blast, super entertaining edgefest though the endings of every book came a bit fast.

also finished Apocalypse Nyx by Kameron Hurley, picked up randomly on name recognition. Was a v entertaining short story collection, will read more

bringing back the sketchfab preview feature for warmups :D

here's some models i draw from https://sketchfab.com/equleart/likes

bought something unnecessary but cute :D

today's warmup

warmups in that sense only clicked for me when i tried drawabox (exactly the exercises described) and noticed how much easier thinking in volume came afterwards.

that said its a pain, i do low stakes studies, figure draw, copy patterns etc while resisting autopilot until i feel everything working

i cant speak to ZZ but it took me like 4 years to get 7 episodes deep into zeta, im not watching either lmao

i should draw her again..

Today's the day! Reposts are appreciated!

finished Rose/House. not entirely sure I got everything that's going on but a very fun and interesting read regardless

next up: Emperor of Thorns by Mark Lawrence

my most recent 'learn to draw clothes' project has made me entirely relearn how I draw people, which i think means it's working

it also might not have been ideal to do suits before jeans+tshirt but i got into it

A kinder world. 🌿

because there's auch a big disconnect in my figure drawing vs clothes knowledge, the latter makes the shortcomings of the former painfully obvious

i can learn the shapes of pieces of clothing by themselves and end up with a much better but completely different stylistic outcome

progressing

i need to buy more artbooks, and anime production ones in particular, again.

browsing pinterest for refs because I am once again trying to learn to draw suits and the cleanest, highest quality, beautifully stylised stuff is anime character sheets.

here's a ref board btw

started an assortment of nonfiction i had lying around but nothing stuck, so next up:
Rose/House by Arkady Martine.
really loved the Teixcalaan duology so pumped for something new from her even if it's very short
