Steve Huston's lessons have been a great help for this, and I'm having a lot of fun exploring different ways to paint.
I'm looking forward to continuing this practice, and developing a process that I can hopefully play around with in any medium!

Sometimes it can be frustrating when my paintings, especially traditional, are hit or miss whether I like them or not.
I realised my unreliable process contributed a lot to this, so I've been working hard to simplify how I approach a painting.

Practice sketch, trying to gain familiarity with some of the brush mechanics in Rebelle.

Another fun study of Balsa Yonsa from Seirei no Moribito!

It took a lot of adjustments to get to this point, but I'm happy to see some small improvements :D

In future, I'm hoping to try poses with a bit more story involvement

Sometimes I struggle to find time and energy to study like this between work and other projects.
But it does help me appreciate each chance to sit and draw.

I'm unsure of what my plans are for the challenge going forwards, but I am looking forward to next week's exercises!

I tried to draw over each sketch with cleaner lines, which was a tricky task for the cylinder ellipses.

It was nice though to see some small improvements throughout each session.

In the past few days over several drawing sessions, I joined in with week 1 of Challenge 52 hosted by Athoro.

I love perspective and had a lot of fun sketching boxes and cylinders this week!

[MC 02] Drawing a mystery character based off description only YouTube video by Twitch Bokumaro

[MC02] A community member gave me a description of an anime/video game/comic/animation/cartoon character and I draw it based off the description only

Thanks for the channel point redemption @mangonought.bsky.social

I had a lot of fun trying automatic drawing, where I started with a blank canvas to draw without a prior plan.

The timelapse for this drawing is available on YouTube:
