I'm almost done with @sylessae.bsky.social's bootcamp and I'm so sad!! This was such an amazing experience and I only have one study session left 😭

Bear with me for a moment as I celebrate.
I’m over halfway through @sylessae.bsky.social ‘s portrait drawing bootcamp. Life be lifing, but I’ve stuck with it, and I love the progress I’m making. Here’s the roundup so far.

A grayscale, pencil-look digital portrait of a serious-looking man with hooded eyes and a long ponytail.
Finally finished my homework for Week 4 of #sylbootcamp! Iga joins Shante and Tosh in my series of Arc the Lad fanart/reboots.
The focus this week was on mouths, so I chose Iga for his scowl.

A monochrome portrait of Astarion from Baldur’s Gate 3 giving the middle finger to the viewer.
I drew Astarion for week 2 of #sylbootcamp. He is expressing my feelings about one of my fellow boot campers entrapping me into drawing a hand.
It was challenging to work from a game screenshot, and the result feels kind of stiff. I’m going back to my nice familiar stock photos.

A rough grayscale digital painting of eyes looking up and to the right.
An eye study for #sylbootcamp that got real painty real fast.
But I’m not mad about it.
I was a very strict line-and-color kind of person until… just this year, really.
I’m learning that not everything has to be bounded by crisp and precise linework.

An illustrated portrait of an intense-looking man with long red hair in a messy bun. (It’s Tosh, from the Arc the Lad games 30 years ago, because the artist is incapable of joining a modern fandom.)
Taking @sylessae.bsky.social ‘s portrait drawing bootcamp to break through this block and IT’S WORKING
I just needed someone to tell me what to draw when and some nice people on Discord to hype me up.
Here’s my start-of-the-course drawing.

In 2025, I committed to improving my drawings and my technique, so I signed up for @sylessae.bsky.social's #SylBootcamp. Having lessons and guided practice is a game changer. The proof is in the quality of my drawings. January 2025 vs. December 2025.

A summary of most of the pieces I’ve drawn in 2025. The artworks span over a piece from Spirited Away to fanart for various characters from DA Veilguard and DA Inquisition as well as Clair Obscur Expedition 33.
I finished my art summary for 25 and it illustrates my shifting gaming interests beautifully. 😂
Syl‘s portrait bootcamp in the beginning of the year has been a real game changer for me.
Also, I couldn’t choose just one favourite piece. 😬

A pencil portrait sketch of Emmy Rossum. She's looking three quarters to the left, and has loose messy hair. It still doesn't look much like her, but it's closer. Her neck is a little too long though. Mea culpa #TinaMonArt
I'm gonna redraw this portrait every time I complete a week of courses using what I've learned!
I'm mostly happy with this one, but I did mess up with her neck 🥲

I purchased @sylessae.bsky.social's 8-Week Portrait Bootcamp Curriculum this Black Friday and this is my first/"before" portrait
It's referenced from a photo of Emmy Rossum on Pinterest #SylBootcamp

a bust portrait of a woman with red hair in space buns with small braids leading to the buns. she also has some hair falling beside her face, tied near the ends. her eyes are gold, and she has the expression of someone who is very tired of All This Bullshit.
the same portrait of the same woman, but this time she has on the mask of her profession (monk of mercy). it's a golden mask of the upper front section of a skull. the eye sockets and nose hole are darkened, and her expression can only barely be made out.
i'm doing a second run-through of @sylessae.bsky.social 's #SylBootcamp, so here's my baseline portrait! i'm going to try to add in painting this time around, but we'll see if i keep it up LOL

For the 7th(/8, 2.7/2.8) portrait in my fun and rewarding @sylessae.bsky.social 's bootcamp re-take I took a ref from Obscura29 and drew this model :)
I decided to go with this one because of the angle, this week's theme (neck) and the long hair that I love :)

A black and white digital portrait of Halsin, from Baldur's Gate 3. The druid wears his default attire looking to his right.
My obsession with druids and nature themes made it an absolute blast, despite some hardships on the way. I present - Halsin!
Experimented a bit with background, I'll post it in a reply.
It is now the 5th (/8) portrait for the bcamp re-take, 2.5

A digital, black and white drawing of Leon Scott Kennedy from Resident Evil. The portrait attempts to keep the angle, general expression and details intact, with some artistic liberties on the side. The character slightly crosses the border of the background for a playful attempt at adding extra dimension to him.
My weekly portrait continues (and probably ends) the RE characters streak - this time I drew Leon!
Had more trouble with him compared to Lady D but in the end he turned out well
4th homework for my 2nd try at Syl's Bootcamp (2.4)

A digital, black and white drawing of Alcina Dimitrescu, commonly known as Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil Village. The classy aristocrat is drawn in her signature hat and attire, with a floral shaped necklace and a big decorative flower.
For this week's portrait I drew Lady Dimitrescu, Resident Evil Village. It was a real pleasure to work on her and I think she turned out well, I'm proud of this one :]
This is the third homework portrait for my second try at Syl's Bootcamp (2.3)
