dilly dilly Hi!!! Life's been kinda better in this 2022? At the very least, I got aplenty of good mental booster here and there for the first? last? three months, so that's it. My motivation somehow got better for now. That being said, I think I didn't draw much, but here we go! What I did in January mainly continuing from the December last year, doing rehab. I don't really want to tackle serious art with concept so I just mainly warming up and practicing, if that makes sense??? I want to get better in working on a semi flat-ish color, as well as in lineart, so this has been fun! Got a bunch of sketches from last year, too, which is good for the practice material. At first I planned to have this finished as a birthday log at the end of year, but, I kinda don't want to rush myself since it's somehow defeats the purpose...? So I think I'll take this slow. It will still become a birthday log, but I need to finish about six more to complete it, so ya. Doing fanart is something that I really dread because I just... don't really have that strong attachment over a media that I consume, so I don't need to draw one? But recently, there is a manga that piqued my interest a lot, and the fact that I wholly want to draw a fanart about it means that I care most and invested, so hahahahahha o)----------( Man, PPPPPP is so good like, no joke. It's my current top tier thing that I wait every Sunday night along with Witch Watch and Akane-banashi. Go check those, by all means!! You can read them legally on MangaPlus, anyway!!! Anyway!! This also serves a good lineart and hatching practice! My hand got killed in the process since I had to hatch everything one by one but!! I!!! didn't regret it!!! I plan to complete all the Otogami Septuplets, which means five more to go. But I'll wait for the manga update so I can grasp their character better, while thinking about the concept... I guess, yeah. fghjgfdghjkhg I kinda embarassed that I haven't been doing a fanart in almost a decade and idk I just, um, yeah. My attachement to SideM is kinda strong so I wanted to draw something and!!! I did!!!! Draw him!!!! Yeah!!! My boi!!! Cafe Parade is good and Yukihiro Kamiya is a Holy Mary. No more drawing though for now since I have no idea. This is once a lifetime experience, yo. That's it. The thing that I realized a lot on the struggle I have in drawing is that I was too focused??? Relied a bit too much to the 3D models, since I did a lot of concepted works for the last two years. And there are also lack of doodles/sketches purely for doodling and practicing. With that technical factor, I try to start drawing free hand again with very rough sketches and doodle for practice. It does feel refreshing and not restraining, and I do feel the fun, too. But of course, there are drawbacks. Yeah, just like what have been displayed above, without models, I'll be just spending drawing one or two person in a single canvas, waist-up and such. Not a big disadvantage, per se, but, while doing rehab, at times, the feeling that I think I want to do something a little bit serious with what I've been practicing do comes, to mind, so. This is perhaps the first serious art I did this year! The thing that I think when doing this, are
^^^ the sketch At first, I didn't plan it to be a birthday art or such, but then the date was near to their birthday, so I thought to try my best and finish it at one go. Really doesn't look like a birthday art, though, hahaha. I just want to draw something similar to this vibe and coincidentally, I drew it on their birthday, so that's it! For the last two years, I had been updating this journal in a monthly basis, so, usually I've gotta compile the drawings I did in a whole month and then write some afterthought about that. Just like this entry is.
Now though, come to 2022... I don't really draw much, nor thinking or planning about what should I draw ahead like I did last year. Although when I try, I do try, so... I think this art journal will be updated sporadically. Like what it was on the very first time. My main focus for now is still doing the art rehab? I might like to remember how I color things before too, though sob I do have some idea to redraw old sketches I did, though it's nothing final. Maybe along the way I have an idea to draw serious art again. Or maybe I'll try drawing fanart again. There are also some WIPs left from last years which actually I very reluctant to continue in at least for now haha sob. But who knows, though. That's all!! Comments are closed.
