HERE ARE MY FIGURES I TRIED IN THE BEGGINING OF THIS YEAR!
this was really challenging and difficult for me to do, didnt do any construction bc it was more about proportion and likeness, i think i did a good job 😳
i spent at least 2-3hours each, to be really precise on my strokes.
here it is !!! my first ever watercolor drawing !!
got my first watercolor and couldnt stop thinking about it ! i got the 10 tubes winsor & newton cotman watercolor set and i having so much fun (and pain) learning !!
this is day 3 of learning following a youtube begginer tutorial and i think im gonna redo that couse this is not so good in my opinion, did it too fast i gotta slow down my anxiety lol and its also very small
idk why but my brush and water doesnt work like the tutorials tho LMAO this is kinda pissing me off why mine dries so fast like i put it on the paper then go mixing the color and its already dried like am i slow ? idk its pissing me off, the only thing pissing me off lmao but its okay, 3 days only lmao
i wanted to paint with watercolors since i first started to draw, in 2021. but i wanted to learn how to draw first.
do i know how to draw yet ? no, but i bought it anyway.
my mentality has changed a lot since, or im still trying. thinking that i can try everything i want even if im bad or whatever excuse i make because the day will come whether im ready or not, so i just made the day be NOW and dgaf. trying to be free with my art process and not care about anything, im kinda of a self taught rn, but im glad with all these 3 years bc i had to change my whole life LOL.
since july im getting better and im soo happy, i see a lot of improvement in myself and drawing!! like ive been drawing almost every single day and even making huge mistakes and ugly disgraceful drawings im still up and strong and the desire to continue is HERE, like i still see improvement even if im not the way i want to be rn. yayy im an artist guyss
i know that the cat and the birds are cursed but im so happy i finished the level that i was in soooo long. the rhino and the marine animals are my FAV i did them soo good (the quality of these are way better omg lmao... dont look too close) im so happy i focused and tried my best and i really feel i improved after so long and im really a bit confident than before.
im so proud of myself that even at my worst, thinking about giving up and quitting art, i pushed myself to finish, bc i knew it was only a phase and i'll proguess if i do something everyday ....
i lost friends, i lost hair (literally), i stressed myself out, i moved but i didnt gave up on my dreams and i hope i never will. its fun to learn something new about myself everyday and im ready to learn more and do more !! yay forças pra miiiiiim 💗💗💗
ANOTHER STUDIEEE and the most fun study i have done in 7 months !!!
aaah i find it all good T^T not too much to talk but finally something i felt a little like.. well-going for such a long time, now i can rest i little bit and do some personal art i guess. im so close to start learning anatomy and so excited !!
i know i'll suffer bc its too freaking hard ! but i think i'll do it better than the rest of the studies i did bc its my biggest goal to understand how to draw people soooo.... idk, cheer for me?🥺
the next thing i'm doing is drawing animals, values studies and personal art so im excitedd, i think 2024 i will improve even more !!!
more studiess ! thankfully this was the easiest DS i ever did thank god i didnt want to suffer now, but it got good, everything went well and i liked doing them tooo, really fun and liked the results but man... these inking... please dont look closely lolol
i did more studies in july/august but... i don't feel like posting, they look like shit bc of my developing burnout hahaha😭😭
as i promised, thise are my first attempts on doing dynamic sketching with fishes that i choose to do for the week! yaay.....😮💨
to be honest, i like just 2 of them, or 3, the other ones i absolutely HAte because the process was mostly not enjoyable and i was like ughh when this is gonna end and i still cant do much of the 3d mentality(?), so for a first try, i think i would pass with a 7 if it was in school, i did what i understood by my teacher. i have more animals to do actually.
the things i have to do better next time is to construct more consciously and be more cautious on my pen strokes, like i feel i do everything a little too fast. AND NOTE THINGS, god im so terrible at writing things down, i actually dont write at all and im sCAred to forget the things i have known so far. so yeah. maybe just to fill up the empty spaces (that have A LOT) on the paper and immortalize my process, this actually would make me study better and be more observant on my process. and maybe to observe more, i have to learn to just stare and study the photos i have chose for 5 minutes before making the first stroke, thats why the peixe-espada and peixe-voador-cascudo looks terrible for me bc i think i didnt studied too much and rushed the process i little but and this is the thing i dont have to be doing bc like.... thats literally how dynamic sketching works 😭😭 but damn i think i didnt like it i thought i would, or maybe is just the moment, the past few days my mental health wasnt so good and so was my body. fuck it.
