Idk what I'm doing

I desperately want to be able to draw fanart so I made a tumblr to document my progress in learning how to draw. My cat is the header for moral support. They/Them

[iwilllearntodrawifitkillsme]

Both of these took me an hour each and neither of them are traced so I'm actually really happy with how they both turned out

I am having so much fun with my drawing recently which is good cause I haven't touched any of my writing WIPs in months lolol

[iwilllearntodrawifitkillsme]

Quick art dump from the last two weeks cause I forgot to post them while I was at my freinds house with access to wifi

These are all traced over (with two sprites used for Hajime) but I still like them I am abt to start a piece with no tracing so we'll see how that goes cause it's just two people which are the bane of my existence to draw

I bought a tablet to draw on recently at a friends advice and it has massively improved my desire to practice drawing more so thank you to my friend for letting me dick around on yours for a minute to let me see how Iiked it

[iwilllearntodrawifitkillsme]

I spent far too long on this piece but as a result I am actually proud of it it's not perfect but I think it looks good I think it was a little under 6 hours

I drew this in honour of finishing the near 54k Kaishin fic I spent a little over 6 months writing

[iwilllearntodrawifitkillsme]

I drew something! Hooray!!

I spent two hours working on this instead of the Kaishin fic I've been working on for like six months

But I mean hey they actually look like people!! A little wonky and disproportionate sure but people!!

I gave Bleach another try because it's one of my friends favourite anime and let me tell ya. It took them a while but the brain worms have gotten me.

I finished it yesterday and I have been reading Bleach fanfic all day and have been thinking of this Ichigo based nail design my whole shift because I need to repaint my nails anyway

I might give Ichigo himself a try in the next couple days if I have the energy cause I'm getting the keys to my new flat on Wednesday and I need to start packing up my current one

Also full transparency I did not draw the hands for the above reason of I am already too drained to learn how to draw hands rn but I spent 45 minutes on the design

[iwilllearntodrawifitkillsme]

I'm alive and I come back with P5 fanart

I spent an hour and twenty on it and by the time his body was done I realised I did not feel up to drawing wings rn but I think he actually looks pretty fucking good

Shoutout to my friends who were sat in vc with me as I drew him and were probably sick of me shouting about how I couldn't get his boot to look right double shout out to one of those two friends that told me to draw something

[iwilllearntodrawifitkillsme]

Her proportions are a little off but here's my first attempt at drawing Catra. Her hands looks okay though! Like they actually look like hands I am now just realising I forgot the marks on her arms which now that I've noticed is really throwing me off

I was going to do an Adora to go with her but it's really warm and I just want to lie down I didn't shade it for that same reason

[iwilllearntodrawifitkillsme]

Day 22 took me 45 minutes

Here is the finished Outsider piece from day 21. Am I happy with it? Ehhh. I'm mostly happy with how the body turned out it is once again the face that is really letting me down. But other than that I actually think he looks okay

I am gonna have to stop counting the days from here though because it's just making me feel like I have to do this, makes it feel like work which either a, makes me not want to draw or b, makes me feel guilty for not doing drawing something

I am still planning on posting on here regularly but if more than one day passes in between updates I'm just not gonna stress. I want to learn to draw, yeah. But I also don't need another hobby that stresses me out. I only recently got over that with my writing

[iwilllearntodrawifitkillsme]

Day 21 took me 36 minutes

It isn't finished, I still need to draw his legs and also actually draw his face (though I like the funny looking face I can't lie) but I drew this as a break from Persona 4 because the 2011 Atlas writing was annoying me

But as promised he is completely untraced and I'm actually really happy with it! Like his hands! They actually look like fucking hands which holy shit WHAT. I don't know how I did that

[iwilllearntodrawifitkillsme]

Day 20 took me a total of 50 minutes

I drew Joker's mask to start with because I am getting obsessed over that game again but I need to finish P4 before I allow myself to restart 5 so this was an outlet for my desire to play it

I then remembered a tip for drawing feathered/angel wings and wanted to test it out I then wanted to try my hand at a few bat wings (which turned out much better I think)

I then found an account full of drawing tips so spent 20 minutes studing horns and eyes (I didn't have the bravery for hands today, someday soon though)

[iwilllearntodrawifitkillsme]

Day 19 took me 10 minutes and I won't lie it's a bit of a cop out but I drew the Outsiders mark on the back of my hand in eyeliner before going out this morning

I was going to draw something else today on my laptop but I'm going to be spending the night sorting out an old ipod I found so I'm willing to count it

I am still planning on drawing the Outsider himself on Saturday so I'll consider this a warm up lolol

[iwilllearntodrawifitkillsme]

Day 18 took me 1 hour and 14 minutes

After doing my random check for a new D.Gray Man chapter today I was very happy to see that there was one for me to read. I always forget how much I love this manga until it updates but then I get confused as to what the fuck is going on cause of the like 6 month wait between chapters

I love Allen and Lavi they're such cool characters and their designs go so hard. They are going in to my mental list to draw fanart/ ship fanart for as soon as I can draw faces cause fuck me I cannot make a face look right for the life of me

[iwilllearntodrawifitkillsme]

Day 17 took me 1 hour and 11 minutes.

I won't lie to you, the Outsider *is* partly traced from his in game model. But I drew this one specifically as an alt art of a card for the Dishonored themed MTG deck I've built and I couldn't figure out his arms or collar for the life of me (the second pic is the card I'm pasting him on to)

But I *will* come back to him and draw a full body Outsider (of this same pose) and post it no matter how bad it turns out, but I'm going to wait until I have a full day to do it and not the few hours I have after getting home from work before I have to go to bed. So probably Saturday as I'm off all day with no plans

[iwilllearntodrawifitkillsme]

Day 16 took me 49 minutes

I didn't draw anything yesterday cause I have discovered that I have no energy to draw after a shit show of a shift but I drew Stanley today to go along with my Stella from the other day as he is my favourite Spirit in the game

[iwilllearntodrawifitkillsme]

Day 15 took me 1 hour and 5 minutes

It was orignally just going to be her hat because fuck me I LOVE Stella's hat. But then I wanted to try drawing her so here we are.

I did end up colouring over her eyes because I couldn't get them to look right and they were really ruining the piece for me but I like how it looks without them so eh...

[iwilllearntodrawifitkillsme]

Day 14 took me 10 minutes. I was messing around with the airbrush pen because I spent 20 minutes working on a sketch and realised the proportions were fucked. I didn't want to fix it last night so I did this instead and then fell asleep before I could actually draw something or even post this lolol

[iwilllearntodrawifitkillsme]

Day 13 took me 45 minutes and merges my two current hyper fixations of Persona 4 and Deltarune

I started Persona 4 the other day and I immediately needed to see Tenna with either this design on his screen or the circles from when they touch/interract with the TV (I might still draw that one)

I didn't do one yesterday because I was just too tired. By the time I got home and had eaten and stuff I had been awake for like 20 hours and I just wanted to go to bed
