The First Month
Hey everypony, itβs been a while! It turns out that working, streaming, illustrating, studying and daily sketching doesnβt leave a lot of time left in the day for coding; oops! I wanted to make sure that I got this posted on the 1st to give you all a progress update on how my new years resolution is going! I will update this blog post later when Iβm able to post all the images together, but if youβd like a sneak peek pls check out my instagram!
Monthly Illustration
This month I drew a gijinka of Robot Unicorn Attack in my hyper-moe style. I wanted to do a lot more with this piece; like a more dynamic pose, longer and wisp-ier hair and a lot more metal and greeble, but, it didnβt end up working out for me, which is okay! Part of this journey is I need to be realistic about what I can and canβt do right now! Iβm really happy with how it turned out in general, and I even recorded a speedpaint of it! I couldnβt decide on just one background, so I made a few variants, I hope yβall like it!!
Daily Drawings
Some days were a lot more difficult than others to do a daily drawing and other days I think I did way too much. The hardest part for me has been trying to get an idea of what I want to draw and trying to not spend more than an hour or two on a drawing. This month Iβm hoping to strike a better balance as I feel like I was spending too long on something that is supposed to really be a warm-up. My personal favorites from this month are 01,03,05,14 through 18, 20 and 27. There were a few days in the month that I was just so tired but I still put a pen to paper and Iβm counting that as a win for me! Iβve been having a blast playing with different mediums and using stickers to spice up my drawings!
Studies
Iβve been doing my studies as a way to warm-up before doing my daily drawing, and again, I think I need to set more limits with my time to try and help improve my speed because Iβve been getting too locked in on something that is literally a warmup. I decided to make this first month just fundamentals, so I donβt have a lot to say. I did practice some perspective and I feel like it makes a lot more sense to me now. I didnβt have time this week to start simplifying body shapes and landmarks, but thatβs okay. I know itβs something I need to do, I just need to sit down and do it! Iβve really been liking drawing cubes and spheres and pyramids, but Iβm a little weak on cylinders so I think I need to spend some more time with those!
