tune

lol. How's everyone doing today?

Good! I'm currently drawing some stuff so my painting teacher doesn't have to accuse me of ignoring my "homework"

Good. I have a few unit tests today but they're not too bad, and I've been sketching some. I tested FireAlpaca yesterday or something, but I'm sticking to Krita.

I know how to shade hair and draw hair but I can't exactly explain how I do it. Sorry.

Also that's awesome Galaxy Unicorn!

Also that's awesome Galaxy Unicorn!

Thanks, but I still don’t think Connor looks good

Well, I like it. Think of it like this, if he doesn't look good now, it's an amazing start!

I keep disappearing. ._. I agree with the others, it looks good, but if you think it doesn’t look good now there’s always room to improve.
Also I have a random bit to share. :D
I forgot to take a picture but I went on a chocolate factory tour and they gave us the chocolate bags to draw/write. I drew a dragon and then with the last of my bag drew an angry cross-eyed bird screaming into the void. It was wonderful.

Beautiful.

GalaxyUnicorn I love it! I think you did a great job capturing the awkwardness that Zoe feels during that part of the musical.

Oof, I don't know what musical y'all are talking about. Though my comment still stands, no matter if someone thinks their art is bad that just means they see where there's room for improvement. Even if it dampers motivation that quality makes you improve quickly. I love the art!
_{Also I'm up just before midnight drawing a creature. I've spent so long resketching I finally pulled up every single reference I have drawn. It is now I finally realize why it doesn't look right, the main thing I changed to tell it apart from a horse is the leg and facial structure and I kept forgetting the face structure.}

Oof

(It’s Dear Evan Hansen)

I drew the girl who was teaching at church a few weeks ago. You know you have done it right when people are like, "Oh my gosh that looks just like so-and-so!" And it actually is a drawing of so-and-so.

Also, I could have made the hair better, but I was focusing more on making it look like her, rather than making the hair look perfect. I can't find a balance. On one hand the face looks great and the hair is just squiggles, and on the other hand the hair looks goddess-like and gorgeous and the face looks like a child's drawing.
