This Is Fine, Regress Is Fine

>"never been this close to learning how to draw"

>haven't picked up a pencil since 🔥🔥🔥

I'm 9 prompts behind 👍🏻 but I did today's one anyway

I also bought variuous types of pencils, never thought I'll do that ..and never been this close to (consistently) learning how to draw

might update the photo tomorrow to look less overexposed (edit: updated)

up drawing everyone's favorite character (work in progress)

the idea is based on a Polish socialist realism poster thing - for now it only says 'REMEMBER' with the rest cut out, but I'll obviously translate the slogan if I finish the drawing (then you'll find out what it is that you shouldn't forget about) I wanted to do this for a very long time, because I can't get over how Jayce looks exactly like the type of idealized men that the socialist propaganda posters would depict, and I find it extremely funny not only that, but also the slogans that were used back when Polish People's Republic was a thing are now hilarious

I also can't unsee how he kinda looks like or has the same weird, kinda cursed(?) energy as Alex the Lion from Madagascar, so that's what I used for his head for now (it is also great at conveying all of the feelings I was feeling when spending hours on the drawing) I've had a 4 months break from art and (as always) ended up setting the bar way too high, so this will most likely take forever I hate how I have no idea what I'm doing, but instead of actually learning I'll be wasting hours trying to figure things out on my own and getting angry with myself, because everything takes so much time and still doesn't look any good - I really wish I could work on my skill consistently and learn like a normal person, maybe then I wouldn't be so far behind despite (theoretically) doing digital art for half of my life

anyway, that's probably how my posts are going to look like for the most part, because I need a place to ramble (I have no one to talk to), which I used to do a lot on insta story; still figuring out how to do this on Tumblr without scaring people off with walls of text

old stuff, 2 years apart

2023

funny little shitposty reel I made back when I was still trying to appeal to the inst*gram algorithm gods

it's a ""making of"" this drawing the art may not be great, but I think the video really is something worth saving (a national treasure (I spend way too much time editing it))

here are some grayscale work in progress pics from before I completely messed them up with coloring (forgot how to color faces)

2020-2021

still can't draw so I'll continue posting old stuff!

this one's from 2023 and I made a short animation out of it, but I didn't like how it turned out

arcane s2 so bad it made me so angry I opened blender voluntarily (to get even angrier)

Zaun crest, don't think I will finish this

you know what? fuck it, I'm going to post everything I did for Arctober in slightly less horrible quality (may edit later), no matter how bad it is

it's just too special for me (this show and the challenge and new season coming up) so I'm putting all of my insecurities aside to show the unfinished, poorly drawn stuff that I'm ashamed of; join me on the painful journey of getting back to drawing (haven't done anything like this in pencil in two years or so, I'm basically missing all the basics)

above Rio it says 'poor cat' and the stuff I covered on the legacy page are some notes I've taken on what was hard for me when I drew it and what to improve ..oh, and on the very bottom on the 2nd Piltover page it says 'you fuckers will never leave Piltover', just don't mind it it's a Polish joke thing
