30sec Poses + Hands. Mainly Hands. :/
30sec poses + hands. Mainly hands. :/
—I had to go upstairs for something and so I got opportunity to grab pen n paper…!!! I just started with random pose from imaginary… and I was gonna do just poses from ref but remembered the whole 30s pose thingy and did it and OF COURSS it immediately 💀 started with a super hard pose….! man I felt like this session of 30s was infinitely harder than 16th… I was just quickly scribbling it in. ah right I remember. of course it was harder because of the set up. my stupid glasses that kept falling down (I really need to get it properly fitted) and how I placed my iPad so I had to keep looking up. yeah that didn’t help/do any favours lol.
—also portions got skewed that lol all the poses looked like younger than I was hitting for. but oh well.
—I def didn’t want do another timed session… and did debate on a longer timed session but I didn’t want to… so I thought to just focus on a pose of the day for posemanic.. and randomly picked this one. holding chest out, proud pose. and I tried it: the angle it was on alright was one that covered the other hand and yeah from first v, I could see that I didn’t bring out the chest as much as it could been….! also cries I have no idea what the f I was doing with the legs??? like I felt completely lost??? (I realised later that’s cuz I was doing the whole sectioning of the legs into two parts and working from there. im not familiar with legs at all to try and just do it lolll. (Yeah I really do need to brush up on my leg knowledge and stuff. I mean I know some muscles and stuff but not really bones that much except some and gist…not like im getting to know the arm/feet and I should change that…..One Dsy…. I just don’t have that much of motivation to work on legs like that… lololol)
—I should def get back to that poss later on to properly study . helpful it was on digital then, since I feel like the limitations of traditional were not helpful in that regard.
—but even so about limitations of digital… oh no… im feeling sleepy (not surprised) but it’s a btch while trying to write this up. and i hoped to be done within the day. ahhhhh. Wait there’s like few hours left of the day. I can make it. Anyways so where was I: yes limitations of tradition yes there is but like. Also. Strong points and did like going back to pen and just drawing which is good… my new rip off Apple Pencil has no pressure sensitivity :/ so writing with some that does is so so soiooo nice skiskkkjj. Lmao I was sleeping here but im normal again now. anyways as I was saying… it feels so nice to pen stuff!!! but also kind of annoying! I should do more traditional stuff!!!!
—working on that chest stick out pose reminded me of the skkr/karin wip.. so I went to draw it just to get a feel for it since I honestly don’t like how I did it before I want the shirt to be BIG and FOCUS and yeah this one didn’t go well. like I said about pen + traditional, I accidentally made the arms too close in and not further as it’s picking it up so I was like ehhh alright and had to deal with it lol.
—hands!!!! and more hands!!!! okay today really is the Hand day. I was focusing on like figuring out how had works and draw it and imaging the way it bends and it was I think at first working for me I think I was all getting it. feeling like I was getting closer and well… later on I do draw more hands on digital. and these do some look better but also my GOSH
—my fingers… :’ also i just think at one point i just got be like. i had enough of hands. I tried to do a bit of figuring out to make sure I remember the length of fingers or whatever anyways hand is so complicated n hard because of the fingers and how everything moves and they all do stuff relative to each other and it’s just so annoying. and it doesn’t help I can’t roughly draw it in as it freakin looks like it makes no sense that way so i have to think of each pose of finger before I put it down and yeah hand was just getting to be super annoying and I couldn’t anymore
—but here I did draw a nice hand in that upper part. it was supposed to be initially more stretched out like the ref but well. no space so I just made it uknow more curled up.
—this one I redraw one of the poses I did for the 30 sec quick poses that I thought came out well and I think that it was nice to draw. I thought the arm didn’t come out as well and considering how I was supposed to be better at arms now even a lil bit. (ha…….) I had to try and redraw it to look more nicer and happy…!!! because hey. it looks like it is more nicer..
—and ah before I forget to mention. I did this lil thing. I was honestly. Bored and i didn’t know what to fill more the page but wanted to continue to just do that. so I kinda did boxes or whatever? and it turned into a more bringing in character into environment. and well. it was well. you know what it was. but I redrew it again, remembering to add a lil more perspective to the box thingy (making it feel like it’s going towards somewhere (a vanish point)) and it def did add depth! thank you that one video! I do want to draw more characters in environment. it’s a weak point of mine and one the things that.. I just like ?? to do. it’s just so cool (idk if that’s the word) when you able to ground a character to an environment like it’s just. SO COOL.

lolll I went to sleep and then well. after that I just really couldn’t bothered… like I wasn’t in the mood for the plan…..
but at least I got in more figure pracs fjfkfkkf
— I did want to focus more on character interaction figures but lol I figured it’s best to just figure doodle… since the blergh feelings was still there and I didn’t like any of the stuff I sketched but at a certain point^^ (23.34) the one I scribbled next to… I started to feel great about them!!!! like lol even if they didn’t look good…
—at a certain point I got bored and did some line practices and then some arm pracs too… since lol when I scribble my figures, I just do straight lines for arms.,. And I think today I just totally forgot how to block in arms at all… they looked worse than normal so I decided to do some arm pracs… just to get some feel for it… first two or three were refs and then I did none with refs…
—did a face study and then lol went back to figure immediately since I was still scarred from this morning n yesterday lmwooooo… I think I learned my lesson. doing face studies n figure studies side by side lollll. also lmao looking at these my legs/hips are atrocious 😂😂 I should really do a proper study but at the same time I can’t be bothered and plus I don’t really like to do isolated studies for the limbs….. like look at my feet fjfjfjfjjf. also wow im thinking that I forgot how to draw the shoulders I need to practise those closely
—I reallyyyy did want to character drawings or even continue those wips but ahhhhhhh I never get to doing them… I think it’s cuz I know they’re gonna be Effort that I just don’t want to….. 😔😔😔😔 it’s soooo annoying. COMON ME. DRAW SHIT!!!!
hehehe i’m soooo happy feel like i’m IMPROVED AND CRACKING DOWN AT THIS DRAWING FIGURES SHIT! !!! i feel like i’m more consistent with it too and ahhhh that makes me happy. so like i feel like i started to run into this trap of drawing in simplified ways of just drawing all of the body in one go and the problem with this is well. the fact that i get the proportions wrong and it becomes flat, since the simplified way was like. flat drawing of the torso and i thought my problem for a while was trying to get the portions and also kinda realised my drawings were becoming flat. but i didnt want to go back to drawing in ribcage etc since it was like so. much more steps and hahaha i just! terrible! but i did get some enlightment between these moments where i felt like my understandings and shit were getting better.
i also realised drawing circles helped instide the flat simplificiation helped but anyways it was until today i figured way. and its honestly less figured out and more like things clicked into place. recently, ive been wanting to not zoomed into the canvas since i realised that it becomes small that. and i think overall picture from zoomed place will help wih spacial stuff and i have been using more pen like brushes so like i can focus on my line and stuff. anyways i didnt think that today i would be doodling, i did want to but eh it wasnt something i just wanted to do. and since i didnt wanan force it i just let it be… until heheh i got the urge to draw today <333 and so! i got the pen and went to cracking it. picked a art pose ref and got to it: and this session i wanted to take it slow. its something i also realised about me self. like i sometimes go to fast with sketching stuff, that really, its better to just sometiems SLOW THE F DOWN. ahaha.
and also this time, i wanted to better draw in head. then just circle. and after that, its time to block in body: i leave out the next, and since ive drawn in head more properly i didnt feel like using the simplied body thing or whatever i do. and just did like line for the shoulder and from then, tried to block in the pelvis/crotch era with line and i think its where it clicked. this method of constructing body from line portions and sometimes full boxes/squares. so i can get my portions right and i can have more freedom with it all and i think this all worked out before i did diff things across my journey: like when i really wanted to get better at drawing the chest but was having struggle with it all since when i drew torso first, it just wasnt workig so then i tried to draw collarbone and then chest right after. it also helped with not drawing the chest further up then it supposed to be. also when i was having struggle with where the crouch started/where belly botton was and did this kind of instintcive portion thing where i would go to ref and from chest go to naval to crouch and see that for me, i would do it a little more up than it should do. it was the same for knees, so i would do that. and those times where i thought drawing the arms first was helpful, it was and still is sometimes in some poses. and also that one video i watched that while the exact method isnt for me, the way was helpful while trying to understand n draw arm start/deltiod/shoulder. and thise videos that did pose from other view to help better explain really helped today when i was trying to break down this lying pose since ahaha i havent really hacked on those and theyre hard! but wow did i get better understanding from trying to draw in side view. anyways man it just made me feel/realise all those steps i had and stuff and when id go through OMG I FOUND THE WAY TO DRAW THE ART and even those some early poses that looked good and then became bad but it wasnt. it was me jumping from different ways and different levels to GET TO HERE!
the ups and downs, worked out in so many ways….? im so happy….. it feels like /all/ of it is paying off mann… im so happy. like when i honestly did like/felt so easily frustated in the begining and realised well. problem was that was that i was approaching the studies with such realistic(?) kind of way that. dumbing/simpling shit down made me give up less….! and that time with me trying to study more seriously and doing humerous bone study and muscle…. and that i didnt end up continuing but i stilll rememebr what i learned. and i feel like it will help when i get back to studing arm.
like right now, my arm and legs and head study i really need to work on. even neck. lol the way i forget neck a lot ahaha. and also the doing from diff angles, the digure. also i do like as im doing this studies im also trying to get a feel for the gesture and how to make it less stiff. i feel like now, im getting more better understanding of everything and better direction and ahaha def now that i will fall into those downs again and frustation and feeling like its going bad again but at least now, its all be accumalting my better understanding. ahhhhh im so happy right now.
😐 man… a lot of recent art is highlighting on my weakness and there are Many. such as legs. mainly legs,.. side view…… profile face angle…. neck..,, arms…. arms again..,. (mainly drawing in arms.)….. for leg it’s really everything :/ man. and the problem is that I can’t be bothereddd to learn legs :/ I did do a more in depth study learning of muscles and shit …. and I think it deepened some level of understanding but not deep enough tbh…..
back to poses…<3
alright I have to say it’s kind of funny that I have been wanting to do some lil art like figure pracs but honestly couldn’t be bothered to try to, just no energy/want for it. but as soon as I opened MM to reread for fic purposes…. I got the urge to draw them….!
—okay to be honest… I already wanted got urges to draw the characters before while reading but I was in my Art Needed Break then sooooo. time to do so now and OH MY GOD. I want to squeeze Ian cuz my guy why the f was so diff to draw :’ I wanted to cry at one point but also I do like how pretty he is… n that eyelash… I love drawing his eyes… too… and I think(?) I’ve finally got the hang of drawing him…
—and HA…. the problem really lines on how tch this art style (not really trying to copy the artsyle but get close to it to get more likeness of characters….) and yeah it is hard to get… also it doesn’t help the hair are like complicated shit. well more complicated than the scribbles I do 😫 I think I might have to actually study to do the hair properly 😔 but I at least I got the gist of it……?
—also I do think it’s funny how it took me more than one face drawing to try and get Ian sort of right but lol with sliver boy, I drew him once and was like…?! I already felt like I got the likeness. that was pretty funny. I mean I kinda did feel like I got likeness sort offff for angel boy but hmmmmmmm. it was yknow not enough. also I think it was hard trying to capture for him the feeling of his which was like “narrow/pointy/small” and not to mention the bumps that the artists likes to use…
—also his eyes are pretty hard to get down, I mean I kinda got the gist but it’s different when drawing it with the face. I feel like my separate lil eye studies were better… either way. looking at some fanart, I realised that it’s fine…?! anyways if I don’t get it alll right. it’s cool. I think I just need to get the hair exactly right or more right and that’s fine 😌. I drew him without looking at the source and yknow I think I got him somewhat down also I do think it’s so funny seeing the both of them in together since angel boy looks more finished/pretty then sliver boy LMAO. I guess it’s obvs which one I like drawing more despite how harder it is…. BUT I WILL GET TO YOU SLIVER BOY….
—anyways I think this was fun to do anyways. I don’t usually draw in this style (lol im influenced a lot by naru), but it was fun… and I really do like how the eyes look…. it’s so nice drawing in them… they’re soooo pretty. while🍥 artsyule holds my heart, I have to say ft artsyle is genuinely one of my faves. every time I see it I want so badly draw all the characters!!!! (especially want to get down to drawing dragon fire boy and armour girl!!!!!! ahhhh they’re gonna be so<3 cuz honestly I think that im getting well I wouldn’t say bored but I think that my recent juv stuff isn’t really sparking the same funness as it was in the beginning… I don’t think I’ve really captured what drew and made me love her design so freakin much and just makes me kinda sad ngl… but I WANNA GET THERE ONE DSY!!!! also man I really have to draw armour!!!!!!! girl!!!!! her design is just. idk WHAT it is but second fav… I think it’s just her general vibe ahhhhhh… also weirdly. I love dragon fire boy for his hair 💀 me? wanting to draw something? for hair? yeah I know NDJDKKD but I really love how hair…… I honestly did draw these two (dragon fire boy n armour girl years ago but ah sadly I lost those art but I remember drawing them…..) anyways yeahhhh….!!!!! im excited to get them I mean. I did doodle in dragon fire boy during ft doodle session but it wasn’t really proper stuff.
—to not get derailed: I’ve been only drawing MM faces to get used to it and it’s been really just straight on to…. Like yeahhhh I drew side view and 3/4 which uhhhhh wasn’t great but yeahhhh I probs should prac that but cba too. Also I kinda want to more draw them in poses…… I kinda have general idea of a scene to draw….. but also cba to do that right now. my energy is low. I probs should get back to rereading and lol to that fic’ing idea… 8.44 also ahhh I do want to get back to my onoe face prac (I WILL GET HIM DOWN) so I can draw one of my fav otps ever hehehe and be the only person in fandom lmaooooo. 8.45
