Absolutely great ‘Stan the Man’, I haven’t drawn from imagination since I was in my teens, so this is a great way for me to pickup my imagination drawing.

I made a new sketchbook today, the previous one was full. A4 size (Fabriano 120 g, A3 sketch sheets folded in half), own binding, 160 pages in total. It can be opened completely flat, so A3-sized drawings are also possible.

I watched critique video and I decided to paint a different pair of boots this time - one that has a lot of lines, and the difference is I did whole work using shoulder and elbow to draw, almost no wrist - to force me to pick lines. I must say - it is so hard to draw against ones instincts to zoom in and draw using wrist xD

Day 14 Drawing Challenge , I used ghosting the lines, thinking about and then execution, I am amazed, much better rendering for me.

Thank you so much I didn’t know what I was doing wrong now I do, the ‘ghosting’ explanation was outstanding, now I get it, working on my fuzzy lines

Asked for help
again a bit later, finally done the booths, also finally passed 14 day challenge, yay!
but the problem I seem to have is forgetting to think about CSI properly, cause I am focusing on drawing what I see and so I hit the right spots and also trying to not have it in too many tiny fuzzy strokes.. and the lines are.. not sure this can be called CSI? but hoepfully, cause some of them are curvy, some bendy.. and not much place for too many straights.
I feel like I'm doing it horribly wrong :(
(havent seen the video yet)

Day 6
Sketch done from photo I'm not sure I should freely share, I didn't ask the permission ahaha
Avoided face features since I really don't know how to do them, so I focused on everything else. And yeah head is slightly tilted, it's intentional
Almost skipped this day.
Didn't have enough free time and didn't have enough mental energy, I thought. But nah, forcing yourself to draw at least a little is almost always possible and always a good choice

I agree keep going , nice rendering, the width should to shoulder is three head widths, this is what I learned sometime ago, thought I would share
