I think I might take a break from posting to BlueSky for a while. I had hoped it would feel more like the old days of Twitter, but it just feels like something I am obligated to do. Will check back in periodically, but you can continue to follow my progress on instagram if you like (@booshie.au)

I also switched back to doing my daily drawings in a "sketchbook" format today, so that I can compile them and more easily see my progress over time.

Reasonably happy with how the results turned out, particularly given I was stylising rather than just sketching/reproducing what I saw. Noses are probably the only part I am not that happy with (and of course the line art still needs work).

I was also trying out Clip Studio Paint today. I can certainly see that it is a much more powerful tool, but I think I will stick with Procreate for now, as its simplicity works better for me as a beginner who is more focused on learning to draw.

The reference I used for the clothing and hair was from an artist named ThetaCursed. They have a lot of great designs that can be licensed, so check them out, because I am hardly doing the designs justice with my attempts to learn from them 😅

I also started a new online course today, watching the first few videos, which were focused on the fundamentals of visual communication.

I am not familiar with Promethean, but I like these character designs. The metal arm on the Frankenstein is an interesting take and I think works well.

This is a really great piece. I love a lot about it but particularly the colours and how the knights line work blends in to the line work of the ground (and the lovely roses 🌹)
