I’ll be real. Today I didn’t feel like drawing, showed knocked out 30+ sketches, and these four are my favourites. I’m learning where to improve everyday through study and repetition and that’s enough for me

Another selection of favourites from today, had a few incidents of miscalculation of space and foreshortening but I corrected where I could. Happy with the progress and enjoying the journey

Three more in today’s coffee shop practice, decided to play with some shadows some more on the last two. I’m a bit pushed for time but I’ll get more done. After the 10 I did this morning (will go up later) I broke 300 drawings!

Didn’t have as much time today as I would have liked but still knocked out four more.
I tried landmarking from things like elbows, noses, clothing folds as opposed to my usual construction methods

Some #speeddrawing today as I got. Aping to go collect my meds earlier. #lifedrawing working from simplification as my principle to capture the #form as fast as possible. Should translate well as #practice for #animation

More daily #practice #lifedrawing over a #morningcoffee before work. I’m determined to make 250 before my surgery in December, and when I’m recovered, I intend to hit 3000+ next year
