I spent like 3 hours on this lego ralsei pls gaze upon her

#Most of the time was spent searching for those dark green pieces

im about to give you one of my best art tips.

when you have a moment like that where you just fucking hate the drawing and can't figure out why, leave it for like an hour and then come back. it'll either look better or you'll instantly understand the problem

Highkey peak advice I’m putting this in my back pocket and keeping it for later

#In this sketch’s case I both traced over the original reference and made an entirely new sketch #Which was kind of a brute force way to find out what was wrong with it but it did work

start a study > get pissed off bc it looks like shit > give up and put the reference into procreate so I can trace it and figure out why it looks like shit > overlay the reference with my sketch > the proportions are like, near perfect. It looks like I traced it from the start > still don’t know why it looks like shit

Near perfect is exaggerating for sure it’s just so much better than I thought it was going to be

#Well the shape of the eyes was bad but the distance and placement was great #and the brow bone was too big which had a big effect

#On one hand wow I’m better at drawing faces than I thought #On the other hand what the fuck is wrong with me where I can copy a reference exactly but come out with something significantly uglier
