I Don't Think We Talk About Jopson's Leg Injury As Much As We Ought To

30sec poses + hands. Mainly hands. :/

—I had to go upstairs for something and so I got opportunity to grab pen n paper…!!! I just started with random pose from imaginary… and I was gonna do just poses from ref but remembered the whole 30s pose thingy and did it and OF COURSS it immediately 💀 started with a super hard pose….! man I felt like this session of 30s was infinitely harder than 16th… I was just quickly scribbling it in. ah right I remember. of course it was harder because of the set up. my stupid glasses that kept falling down (I really need to get it properly fitted) and how I placed my iPad so I had to keep looking up. yeah that didn’t help/do any favours lol.

—also portions got skewed that lol all the poses looked like younger than I was hitting for. but oh well.

—I def didn’t want do another timed session… and did debate on a longer timed session but I didn’t want to… so I thought to just focus on a pose of the day for posemanic.. and randomly picked this one. holding chest out, proud pose. and I tried it: the angle it was on alright was one that covered the other hand and yeah from first v, I could see that I didn’t bring out the chest as much as it could been….! also cries I have no idea what the f I was doing with the legs??? like I felt completely lost??? (I realised later that’s cuz I was doing the whole sectioning of the legs into two parts and working from there. im not familiar with legs at all to try and just do it lolll. (Yeah I really do need to brush up on my leg knowledge and stuff. I mean I know some muscles and stuff but not really bones that much except some and gist…not like im getting to know the arm/feet and I should change that…..One Dsy…. I just don’t have that much of motivation to work on legs like that… lololol)

—I should def get back to that poss later on to properly study . helpful it was on digital then, since I feel like the limitations of traditional were not helpful in that regard.

—but even so about limitations of digital… oh no… im feeling sleepy (not surprised) but it’s a btch while trying to write this up. and i hoped to be done within the day. ahhhhh. Wait there’s like few hours left of the day. I can make it. Anyways so where was I: yes limitations of tradition yes there is but like. Also. Strong points and did like going back to pen and just drawing which is good… my new rip off Apple Pencil has no pressure sensitivity :/ so writing with some that does is so so soiooo nice skiskkkjj. Lmao I was sleeping here but im normal again now. anyways as I was saying… it feels so nice to pen stuff!!! but also kind of annoying! I should do more traditional stuff!!!!

—working on that chest stick out pose reminded me of the skkr/karin wip.. so I went to draw it just to get a feel for it since I honestly don’t like how I did it before I want the shirt to be BIG and FOCUS and yeah this one didn’t go well. like I said about pen + traditional, I accidentally made the arms too close in and not further as it’s picking it up so I was like ehhh alright and had to deal with it lol.

—hands!!!! and more hands!!!! okay today really is the Hand day. I was focusing on like figuring out how had works and draw it and imaging the way it bends and it was I think at first working for me I think I was all getting it. feeling like I was getting closer and well… later on I do draw more hands on digital. and these do some look better but also my GOSH

—my fingers… :’ also i just think at one point i just got be like. i had enough of hands. I tried to do a bit of figuring out to make sure I remember the length of fingers or whatever anyways hand is so complicated n hard because of the fingers and how everything moves and they all do stuff relative to each other and it’s just so annoying. and it doesn’t help I can’t roughly draw it in as it freakin looks like it makes no sense that way so i have to think of each pose of finger before I put it down and yeah hand was just getting to be super annoying and I couldn’t anymore

—but here I did draw a nice hand in that upper part. it was supposed to be initially more stretched out like the ref but well. no space so I just made it uknow more curled up.

—this one I redraw one of the poses I did for the 30 sec quick poses that I thought came out well and I think that it was nice to draw. I thought the arm didn’t come out as well and considering how I was supposed to be better at arms now even a lil bit. (ha…….) I had to try and redraw it to look more nicer and happy…!!! because hey. it looks like it is more nicer..

—and ah before I forget to mention. I did this lil thing. I was honestly. Bored and i didn’t know what to fill more the page but wanted to continue to just do that. so I kinda did boxes or whatever? and it turned into a more bringing in character into environment. and well. it was well. you know what it was. but I redrew it again, remembering to add a lil more perspective to the box thingy (making it feel like it’s going towards somewhere (a vanish point)) and it def did add depth! thank you that one video! I do want to draw more characters in environment. it’s a weak point of mine and one the things that.. I just like ?? to do. it’s just so cool (idk if that’s the word) when you able to ground a character to an environment like it’s just. SO COOL.

COLOURRR TIMEEEE

like lol I did genuinely have a diff plan today which was to DRAW DRAW DRAWW character stuff!!! plus have some figure prac dibble in. since this morning n afternoon, I’ve been watching some videos. faces n clothes. and honestly didn’t help that much but the clothes one I think I got more better understanding…? And what I need to study I guess.

but ahahah while I did want to draw I didn’t feel urge to get pen and draw until… I came across this beautiful colour sky thingy on yt background for a song and wow it suddenly got me wanting to do colour studying!!!! so I got my pen and cracked to it.

— one thing I wanted to focus on is the ability to just pick colour and feel for the right one which I think…(?) I’m getting. still very weak on that especially that yellow one down there. not satisfied since I wasn’t able to get the overall genera colour scheme awww.

—like initially just wanted to see how diff colour picks would be easier or not against diff value backgrounds….

—for the person colour drawing I wanted to capture their overall skin colour and I think I went too overright with the Oliver. since they had more lighter skin. but at least my second attempt is better than the first which I think turned out overalll muddy because I used a green undertone but wasn’tttt entirely sure of how to use it.

— I do like how the blockage for the darker skin sphere turned out. I remembered these videos I watched a whileee ago and the more saturated colour picks and it def helped…!

— I stopped for a bit since I felt like this was starting to become aimless and I think would be better if I did a full colour for a character and then figure out my weakpoints to study on… also this was god since I was able to get in some figure study ^^ and something I realised/well more like reinforced is the drawing the legs….. and just understanding how it more less connects from the body. also ahahah I feel like it’s better if I start to work on studying the feet at one point….

— also I started to think that I want to do more comic focused today as well. it would be really good in realising what stuff I’m missing in gaps and just the prac down. I’m havin some problem in head just finalising vague ideas so I think it’s best to get something down… also do have some urge to just draw on paper today… also I really want to draw this character on motorcycle!!!’ it’s something I’ve never done so I know it won’t turn out amazibgggg and shit but. well. it’s best to try right!!!!! and ahhhh I really just wanna draw characters interacting man….. so many to-do…. piority is really that comic stuff since I can have character interactions and general comic prac which is what I need!!!!!! 15.07

ahahah… yeah I did say all of that. but I didn’t do it<3 :’

— honestly wasn’t feeling it but I felt like doing some figure pracs anyways so I just got to doing it. I wanted to focus on character interactions and lolll immediately came across this hard one… lying pose…. I honestly wasn’t feeling it so lol I put low effort into most of these… but I do think it was good and lil fun now realising doing more varied poses… also ahahah I do like the multi coloured look… I realised I still had the green from the colouring session before on when I went to do the figure prac and wanted to see how it would be like to do in all these diff colours and it looks fun to look at. but as per usual, I do like/prefer more brighter pink dark blues and black to draw in… purple when I’m in mood.

—I included hand studies and oh boy those are hard :’ ahaha…. like wtf is this under me…. Idk what I was trying lmaoooooo.

—also remembered to include some lil twisting bodies pracs since I remember I suckedddd at that yesterday ahahah. and I think I got it(?) a lil bit…. like the way the shoulder one one side is almost not seen and like doing that paper thing helped at first to see the twist…

—and well since I completed to fill the page I wasn’t really feeling doing another page but also didn’t want to stop drawing… and well remember how I said I wanted to do comic? Well I thought… what if I worked on stuff I already have…? And what do you know! That way worked! The roommate one… I didn’t actually start anything for it lmao but drawing some idea I had for poses anyways… so I just got straight into it. And uhhhh not bad. Actually quite proud of that first panel…. I did have some idea of them being outside and I don’t think I like how I filled the background since I wanted them to be more outside so something to change. also I’ve been looking closer at mangas I’ve been reading and they do tend to have panels with characters smaller and I wanted to try that. and I realised that it’s best to have a script since while I had vague idea of what I wanted in this scene it’s. kind of hard to think of the sequence just like that. but honestly cba to write out the script for this comic today LMAO so yeahhhhh

—but I did want to continue drawing and did have some urge to draw some srda and I did have this some kind of idea in my head for her pose but ehhhhhh lol when I put it to paper lmaooo it def felt so….?!?! like what was even the plan for the pose… nothing about it made sense?? why would she be doing that???? also wow I really suck at drawing the face I realise. it bothered me a lot lmaooo . like pls why does she look like that 😭😭😭

— I honestly didn’t think that I’d be doing other drawings and plus the prev one took all the drawing want to draw at all from me lmaooo. but ehhhh i got back to picking up my pen since i was back in my bed anyways… and this time i wanted to focus on faces… but i def did feel like this was super aimless… and just doing whatever and trying to get some faces in diff angles and i think the problem is that my understandings of faces structure is terrible…like i knowww the gist and general of the stuff. but well it’s more the jaw I guess and idk what it is i feel like im not completely understanding it like how im understanding and now the figure better…. so i guess its time to watch some videos and just also general videos of people drawing faces…. I feel like that would help I guess…. Also man it did feel super sad since how terrible my faces is…. I think it’s cuz I always prided myself on doing good faces and well, I know that now my “eye” has gotten better i wasn’t really that good at faces. maybe yeah for straight ones but ahh… still…. It’s kind of sad…..

💀 zipping from wow i can’t for shit i’m so sad abt it all look at this and hey okay it wasnt actually so bad and hey it’s looking good and hey doing this constructing step step thing is kinda working out to getting motivated by vids and doing quick poses and oh wow i’m getting hang of it yay to lets goooo and back to wtf i can’t draw shit man i want to cryyyy

DAY DIDNT START OFF SO GOOD… 😔😔😔😔

—since I was already drawing from last time I thought I might as well continue into next day and do some figure prac and sIGH. watching the time lapse of my fix redraw honestly bothered me. it felt like I was better than…. and I don’t think how I adopted drawing the ribcage lately is something im a fan of. it’s just something I picked up and I don’t think I like it…

—anyways from that and seeing how my first figure prac wasn’t amazingggg well. it just got to me and then when I tried to draw in my second figure using the way I used to draw in ribcage and stuff it really wasn’t going in great and ahhhhb I was really started to feel depressed about my arts again and all sorts of sad 😭😭😭😭 but I persevered and yayyyy things picked up REALLY nicely in the third one……

—I was drawing from ref but got an idea for how pose could go and so changed it to the idea and oh mannnn it came out so nice ♥️ im so happy ♥️

—but yeah the other two just sucked so I gave up and mannnn it got me sad about my art. maybe drawing character art would cheer me up but idk man. I couldn’t just draw more stuff. I think it’s cuz I feel like I’ve regressed in my art which make me sooooo sad. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 it doesn’t help that I want to draw more nicely but am not at that stage and I just feel frustrated I guess and want to just be more good at art…. SIGH…….

—-oh well. we’ll see how things are a few hours from now. I think I just should just take break from art right now. I did want to focus on my writing lately but haven’t gotten to. maybe I should do that hmmm.

00.40

okay I did have a strong moment where I was really gonna give up on art and everything and then towards end of the day I realised how ridiculous that notion was, considering how I still partially was thinking about art and stuff and cuz I know myself and how many times I wanted to draw my stuff so I know I will be crawling back to art eventually. either I didn’t feel like drawing any more stuff today OR SO IT WAS…

—until I came across this animatir(?) Art of boru+his mom and I had the sudden urge to draw them together now and so I got my iPad to satisfy this bizarre urge and… end up doing some more figure pracs.

—okay tbf, the figure pracs were… already there when I opened procreate and so I just got down to doing it. had realisation I just like.:..? doing these kind of poses () and also man legs are hard and I think I forgot how pelvis looks like and where they are placed and man im terrible at stuff where pelvis justs out… and also at angles where rib is more angled or whatever…? I have struggled with that

—also lol at one point I gave up properly doing these and turned really into more scribble-ly fun… also I was trying to shrug off these being serious stuff and just have fun drawing…. I think I needed that

—I got bored then… and went off to draw the boru+mom idea I had… I didn’t really have an actual idea tbh….. but then I realised I probs should get in some face pracs since I haven’t really drawn hina… and uhhhh yeah it’s been a hot while since I drawn boru and I have been thinking of prev art that made me feel sad when I think of it cuz I feel like my art has not been as good at drawing faces and so I thought to go back to prev brushes but before that in the naru folder I saw some gaa+love face doodles and these weren’t bad….?! anyways after one hard brush face doodle that wasn’t bad (but man do I need to practice drawing shoulders/bust up shots. I went to this other brush that I can’t spell…. And THIS IS WHERR THE MAGIC HAPPENED!!!!!! YES THIS WAS IT!!!!!!!!!

—and well of course not all the drawings were good…. and ahhhhh yeah I need to practice on side

—I wanted to do some skkr practice as you know what happened……yesterday…. I wasn’t gonna do it since it seemed a pain to switch to my ss folder but I just did it. And at this point the better in my pen was fighting for its life so I was quickly trying to get it down and hello??!??? while this is still not reaching the idea way I want to draw her. ITS SO MUCHHHHH BETTERER THAN PREF ATTEMPTS….. IM SO HAPPY…… also I think issue might be her longer narrow face…..? but I am very very pleasantly pleased at how she turned out overall. So happy. These day really turned around in the best way ever and im very happy heh.

i actually really love drawing hands and only recently have I enjoyed it haha

I’m still not very good at it nor do I understand a single thing about anatomy but here’s some small tips I hope help!!!

tbh ive been waiting for someone to ask for a hand tutorial
