2017 (top) vs 2016 (bottom) We were asked to draw a normal looking picture, in our style, of a model, who kinda looks like the woman shown above.
I didnāt have the original image of this model to work off of anymore, so I used my 2016 sketch instead.
Then we were asked to exaggerate the poses. A week past between start and finish of this assignment, so Iād actually forgotten what I was supposed to be doing when I made the last sketch (dancer). I also was in a weird mood and gave some of these notes, because, why not?Ā
I tried to do a very exaggerated pose in perspective, which is something that I normally wouldnāt do, but I wanted to push myself. I couldnāt figure it out, especially not the arms, but it was a good exercise and actually fun, so, I have something new to work on. Hands and feet however...well, those have always been hard.
Inking time!
Inking. I love inking, even though Iām not the great at it. I wanted to use my G-pen nibs for one of these, but my art stuff is located along a wall that backs up to my kidās room so rummaging through stuff at night to find the nib and pen is a no go. So, I used what I could easily grab, which was a bamboo pen, a brush (I forget the size, but itās white sable), and microns. I canāt print in color, and I couldnāt find my bristol, so I used two sheets of hot press illustration paper I had. Itās a smooth finish, and works great with ink.
The bamboo brush was crazy. I havenāt used one in a couple of years and you can tell. Itās very hard to control the line weight with. I remember that, with practice, you can get it to be mostly consistent, but ugh. What a mess! The brush was better, and is what I prefer to ink with. (though where is my line variation?)
The microns I used were .1 and .3. I slowly built up the lines over multiple passes. I like doing this because, even though itās a tad tedious, I feel like I have more control over my line weight. Still had a few missteps here, like the hand in the background being too think and oh, hey, I forgot to draw that other hand and wait, is she missing a finger? But overall, I felt that I was far more successful with the microns that I was the bamboo pen or the brush. I may change what I work with!
I immediately notice that I am very consistent with my line weight. I always THINK Iām varying them, but then I finish the piece and go,Ā āoh.ā I have a bit better luck varying things when I ink digitally, but even then, I am hesitant to push anything. I think Iām too concerned I might mess up, at which point the drawing is ruined. While I know it would be easier to just make the mistake and shop it out later, it really is a HUGE mental barrier. I donāt know why. IT HAS TO BE PERFECT the first time, or IDK, just shitty? I need to get over it.
I chose to do cross hatching because while I love it, I am not good at it. I wanted to try to push myself outside my comfort zone a bit. I DID cheat a bit, and penciled in the areas I wanted to hatch before I inked, but I think thatās just smart planning. I enjoyed how the cross hatching came out, though, again, I could have pushed it a bit more. I had a hard time figuring out how to use the hatching to show the shape of the fingers. I was finally starting to figure it out by the time I finished.Ā
Fun and interesting inking challenge!

25 expressions challenge! Itās good this wasnāt a photo challenge because ooooh boy is this a bad one.
I thought it might be interesting to compare the version I did last year with the version I did this year, to see if anything changed, for better or worse.Ā

Thereās more life in the current set, and a lot more movement, which is good! Thereās still not a lot of variation in line weight, which is something I feel like I struggle with, so thatās not surprising.Ā
I think thereās a bit more consistency in terms of keeping the character on model, but thereās still a ton of work to be done there. I know thatās something Iāve been working on for awhile now, and it never seems to get easier. One day!Ā
50 sets of eyes! I recall this being much harder last year, though that was probably lack of sleep talking. I couldnāt think of 50 sets of eyes, and it took me days to do it, and it looked awful. This time, I went and looked at various collections of cartoon eyes and drew all the ones that interested me. I wanted to try styles I normally wouldnāt, while still sticking to a style Iām comfortable with.
Once again I used my sketchbook, rather than bristol board, because itās quick and easy to set up and move on a momentās notice. While I LOVE my dip pens, for ease and speed, I used microns for this assignment. Mostly a .08, but a .01 is mixed in there too.
Getting political. As one does.
