Apologies for lack of updates, had a lot on with my other job. I got some more life drawing done today :)

Another selection of favourites from today, had a few incidents of miscalculation of space and foreshortening but I corrected where I could. Happy with the progress and enjoying the journey

Some personal favourites from the morning timed practice of 30 second stills

Filial? Autocorrect I put full how the hell did you do this? 😭

Got some filial pagers in with more detail, unfortunately subjects are moving on so I don’t get all details but the two ones I liked the most are these

Three more in today’s coffee shop practice, decided to play with some shadows some more on the last two. I’m a bit pushed for time but I’ll get more done. After the 10 I did this morning (will go up later) I broke 300 drawings!

This is the 1 minute series of art drawings I did still working on speed but trying to capture more form and dynamic posing

#art #practice #animator #animation #illustration #drawing #traditional #pencilandpaper #sketchpad #60seconds #lifedrawing #drawing

30 seconds of life drawings at speed trying to warm up for evening drawing

#lifedrawing #speeddrawing #art #traditional #artpractice

On a note, I’ve decided my goal for this time next year is to hit 10,000 life drawings completed. The sheer volume of practice will help my animation, and the plan is to mix in vehicles, animals and buildings. I have facial feminisation surgery in December but after that, full throttle

Morning haul in the coffee shop

Got quite a few more lifedrawings done today mixing speed, light study and moving target practice

Got some more drawing done on a quick go today. Tomorrow is my birthday so I’m going to take it off.

Four more drawings managed today on a busy schedule, come hell or high water I make the time to stay on this

More life drawing today to keep the moment going before I hit the gym

#lifedrawing #speeddrawing #sketch #practice #animator #animation #artist

Didn’t have as much time today as I would have liked but still knocked out four more.

I tried landmarking from things like elbows, noses, clothing folds as opposed to my usual construction methods

Quick speed session before I got t work. 6 new ones, all done in sub a minute

Some #speeddrawing today as I got. Aping to go collect my meds earlier. #lifedrawing working from simplification as my principle to capture the #form as fast as possible. Should translate well as #practice for #animation

More daily #practice #lifedrawing over a #morningcoffee before work. I’m determined to make 250 before my surgery in December, and when I’m recovered, I intend to hit 3000+ next year

Still out here on the daily practice.

Happy weekend everyone!

Keeping the practice going this afternoon

Sorry for the lack of updates for the last week. Moving house, a hip injury and just burnout with my adhd and autism has made basics difficult outside of work but I’m back on it now

Some more #practice on the morning run to work #lifedrawing and #speeddrawing mixed today. I’ve also tried to emulate the lighting on the leather jacket in 173 (bottom right, image 1) and I feel it went well

Aaand we are back! Busy morning after a launch with my other job, but the art is back on daily practice.

Update - I’m in my new place and slowly adjusting. ADHD has made this very overwhelming but I’m getting back on the horse tomorrow
