Hey, so it's that one DQN from earlier this month who decided to get good at drawing. Just checking in as it's been around 150 days since then. How much progress have I made?

Well, I admit I haven't been doing it as much as I had decided to. Right now I'm on 59/10000. That's only thirty more than that first post, an average of roughly one drawing every five days. At that rate I will die of old age long before I reach 10000! So yes, I am disappointed in myself for letting other things get in my way. However, I have not given up! I refuse to give up just because I've dropped the ball. That's not who I want to be. I also note that some of that time has been fruitfully spent toward other skills, so as far as the objective of avoiding wasting so much time on the interwebs goes, I've still found some success.

In these last thirty drawings I've primarily been working on gestures and getting the hang of basic human structure. 3D models have been really helpful, as have sets of gestures from artists I admire (for example, I think Sakino Shingetsu does really great dynamic poses). It's slow work and I'll be at it for a long time, but it's important. I don't want to spend 3 hours finishing the shading on the upper lip if it's not even in the right place, or if the arm is bent at some distracting angle.

Recently I've gone on a bit of a binge stockpiling pictures of airplanes. I'll migrate over to those for working on geometrical, non-organic shapes and fundamental control. I mean, if I'm going to draw loli catgirls flying F-14s, I'll need to be able to draw an F-14, right?
