Day 368

Commission!~ Finished late last night so I didn’t get a chance to post it. I believe I spent 3ish hours on it so wooh to meeting my goal :]

Day 367!

So I think this is an appropriate one-year anniversary of my daily sketches drawing. ~~Never mind the fact I drew this yesterday.~~

Can’t believe I survived my first year of dailies. I’ve tried so many other methods to get myself to draw daily and could never stay committed. While I didn’t draw every single day and a lot of the sketches aren’t exactly pride-worthy, it got me drawing on a frequent basis. I’ve been able to experiment with so many different techniques and styles, draw my OCs more than I ever have in the past, and work on a lot of technical aspects of art. Considering in prior years I would go months without drawing and rarely ever sketched or experimented, I think this was a huge success. :]

Hopefully this next year of dailies will be even more successful! I’m aiming to do more studies, still lives, and complex pieces. I want to put more effort into my dailies and have a higher percentage of successful pieces as opposed to the “lol Imma doodle this in 15minutes because I need to draw today.” My new goal is to draw at least 3hrs every day with a goal of 5hr, though not every hour needs to be a daily. I really need to do more large scale/complex pieces so hopefully I can kick my butt into high gear and get on that. :]

Ref’d from here and the wing design ended up having a lot of influence from the character Reyson’s artwork from Fire Emblem. (Yeah, yeah, should have looked more at real animals but I had re-drawn it like 6 times by that point. But I think I FINALLY figured out angel/bird wings thanks to this drawing!)

Thanks for all the supports, it means a lot!

Day 366

Wooh! One full leap year of daily sketches! Now I realize that this day is technically late but it’s actually not. I intended for this to be the day 367 sketch but the original day 366 became far better than expected and was much better suited as an anniversary sketch than this. Plus this was an old idea and I kind of got bored of the original idea so I mostly just cleaned up the sketch and decided to just swap the days.

Pose ref’d from… somewhere, I don’t remember where the link to the stock is :|

So.

Just posted my 365th daily sketch. But it was a leap year, so technically the 366th will be a full year of daily sketches. But May 26th is the anniversary of me starting daily sketches.

Soooooooo I’m just going to celebrate (and by celebrate I mean post a half-way decent drawing as opposed to a half-assed sketch) on the 26th. That sounds like a good plan.

Day 365

Lawls, a pitiful attempt at a landscape. Because I got tired of drawing people/animals. Add landscape to my list of shit to improve on over the summer.

Day 364

To see how well I can draw buff dudes without photo reference. Definitely something I need to study more.

Day 363

Ref’d from a photo of Liam Hemsworth. I always forget to say when something is ref’d off a photo. Oops, I should definitely be more diligent with that.
