What are skin folds

 Just churned out a quick drawing today, nothing fancy. Really bad at armpit folds as you can tell, getting better at hair though.  Also this is a guy, despite what some contours may tell you. That's all from me for now.

Small hand small knife

 

Drew this from imagination, no construction, no planing. Hard round brush with size pressure. Took almost an hour, very cool I know.

Styles are like pokemon

 Was looking back at the previous posts so far this week, was kinda impressed how many styles I learned so far. Impressed with my own art, pretentious I know. Also, I'm currently watching pokemon right now, episode 64 I think. Didn't realize how much I missed it, also, the top left character is based loosely off my vague recollection of Ash from the show. I didn't realize until watching the subbed version that his actual name is Satoshi, weird how different the Japanese and English version of the shows are.

404 mouth not found

 This draw started off a lot worse but managed to salvage it, took around a little over 20 minutes. I have a layer with some shading on it but didn't manage to get it done in time. Speaking of which, that shouldn't be a problem. Why am I still posting at midnight you ask?... I'm not sure either. The past couple of days I started my drawings in the morning but never "finished" them until after dark. Posting at night is the danger zone cause at any moment I could pass out. Oh well, will still try to improve on it.

Much realism, much wow.

 Drew a realistic face for change of pace, it's been a while and I had to take it slowly at first. My head's feeling better but the tingling/burning sensation is still there. Think it has something to do with caffeine so I'll stay away from it tomorrow and see how it goes. Also, this should be a boy's face, but it comes off kinda feminine and/or young. Not sure how the proportions go for young faces, but I might look into it.

Head on fire

 May or may not be posting this at 11PM, which is not a morning post... But for real, I was busy today, and was drawing for most of it so it's fine. Haven't been feeling well today, ever since a couple days ago my brain feels like it's on fire. Not in a temperature or fever kind of way, but like in a inflamed or irritated sense. It happened after I was super overthinking something and I guess I basically fried my brain, but I never expected it to last this long. I looked into it, apparently it can be caused by overthinking or anxiety/panic attacks, so I guess it was par for the course. It can also be a symptom of an immune disorder, wouldn't be a health scare without the possibly fatal notice. Gonna get some sleep now and see if that'll help, catch ya tomorrow.

IM LOCKED IN

Two years in and ~380 posts... that means I skipped a year's worth... hurts thinking about. But what DOESN'T hurt thinking about is Yuno and Yukki!!!! He looks a lot better this year compared to Yuno, but I think it was that way before too, I'll work on drawing better anime girls this year, specifically her. 

They both definitely look a lot more like their anime counterparts though compared to the this blog's first post two years ago. I used heavy reference on this one, especially Yuno but I'm still not satisfied with how she turned out. It's funny though, the creator of Future Diary said that she was hard to draw for him at first too so we have that much in common.

So for this years resolution its better looking anime girls and... drumroll please... MORNING BLOG POSTS!!! That's right, you read that properly. I will now be trying to do my anime posts ASAP from hear on out, hopefully getting them done by noon. Wondering if I should allow myself breakfast before or after I post, but that's pretty hardcore as it is, we'll see how that turns out. If you remember last year's resolution, it was to have no more "placeholder" posts. While I am still embarrassed that needed a new year's resolution for me to stop, this is where we're at now, so I will just try to focus on now.

Anyways, I'm feeling back on track with the daily grind, with the improvement mindset and whatnot, lets see how long it lasts this January.
