LTD100 - day 10/100 - birdbrain and boxes

final day of boxes and i finished with 200 total, 31 today!!!! im quite happy with how the boxes look overall today, although some aren't great. i think it conveys a nice fluid motion along the line :D

i also drew some birdbrain fanart (although to be entirely honest the colored one isnt exactly original and although i dont think quite meets the requirements for tracing/copying, definitely comes close!

either way im happy with what i made, and do plan on switching to more drawings of people now that the boxes are finally done.

progress report:

day 5 - 30 boxes (+30)

day 6 - 70 boxes (+40)

day 7 - 120 boxes (+50)

day 8 - 152 boxes (+32)

day 9 - 169 boxes (+17)

day 10 - 200 boxes (+31)

LTD100 - day 1 / 100 + explanation/info

for today, i did some line confidence training, some hands, a little rat guy :D, and some random human person and TETO!!!!!

Things to work on:

hands (WHY ARE THEY SO HARD TO DRAW D:

anatomy generally

color picking

line confidence

brush choice

Explaination/Info

basically i decided i want to learn to draw (for several reasons, mainly 1. i want to be able to make the things that appear in my head, 2. i want to be better than generative ai, and 3. i have friends who are incredibly good at art and are insanely skilled (like literally im in awe of them its crazy) and i want to be like them lmao)

i have been trying to learn to draw for a couple years now but i always loose motivation and feel bad about myself, so now i've decided to start this blog to both help me keep track of how i am doing and how i am improving, and also hopefully to inspire others who may be interested in learning to draw to get into it!

also i think some youtuber did a learning to draw in 100 days challenge thing but this isnt based on that

also i've decided to use "LTD" as an acronym for learn to draw, and #LTD100 as a label for the thing overall, if you decide to do the same as me, feel free to use this tag!

also please don't be mean :( i'm always open to CONSTRUCTIVE criticism but not super ecstatic about being made fun of.

edit: THERE'S A COMMUNITY NOW IF YOU WANT TO JOIN THAT https://www.tumblr.com/join/osT1h8M1, I EXIST ON THERE AS @i-am-controlled-by-cats BECAUSE THIS IS MY SIDE BLOG. IDK WHY IM YELLING. AAAAAA.

LTD100 - day 12/100

today i drew a person :D

i think i did really well with the hand on the picture's right (the person's left) but couldn't get the other one to look good. (Thus it is cut off (its just a ball anyway)

the pose is fairly stiff unfortunately but its good that its anything other than a generic neutral pose.

i think i did alright with the hair but there's definitely room for improvement

the shading i did pretty good with i think

overall i did good, and i'm happy :D

also i found a brush that i actually like so that's nice (its like a hard round brush or something)

LTD100 - day 13/100 (pt. 2/2)

i tried out a new style for the shading on this one, not sure if i'll maintain it, but it was definitely worth the try :]

things i want to improve on next:

facial expressions (mine are seriously lacking)

shading generally

hands

tysm to @albanenechi for the base, i plan on using more of their bases in the future :D

LTD100 - day 16/100 - the return!!

the character on the left is catto from @cattomeyn!! tysm to them, they made a great post explaining stuff around poses and drawing humanoid figures!! although i didnt really employ any of that knowledge in these drawings, i certainly will in the future.

to be fully honest the drawing on the right (in the green cape) was done a couple days ago. they're an OC for a project i've been working on recently.

the one on the left, i dont think i did geat with to be honest. in all fairness, it is like the first drawing i've done in a while so i think i can cut myself some slack there.

its very possible i'll post more later today if i feel like i have more motivation, but for now this is all :(

so sorry about the long break in posting :(((((((

anyway shameless promotion time:
