practice

To be honest, wasn’t too happy with how this turned out but it’s just practice. I know I’ve got to draw like a thousand more noses to really get something decent lol. If you have any tips on how I could get better, let me know!

Still having a difficult time with crosshatching. '(ᗒᗣᗕ)՞ Why....Why you so difficult!!

Practice for my next project. This is my first time experimenting with white charcoal and white gel pen on black paper. Let me know what you think!

I’d say my main focus for this was to practice hair, but as always, critique is welcome on it as a whole ^^

Stippling practice of a horse eye and piece of bridle.

Just started learning to draw eyes. Was wondering if I could get some tips for anime manga style which I could later try to animate with. Plus how are my names and if you can think of better ones pls tell me thx.

Really wanted to erase mistakes but I think it’s interesting to leave em there to see if you’ve improved or not. Anyways, this is just practice ^_^ references were used

More practice. So difficult to get over that learning hump lol. I feel like I am riding my bike up a hill and I'm struggling lol. However, I REALLY want to learn this art form.

Practice in crosshatching and drawing skulls in black ink pen, its not perfect but we are getting there folks! Also, special thanks to fellow doodle addict ❀Misti❀ for her awesome crosshatching tutorial, girl you are awesome!

Per special request :) this is my method for crosshatching. Feel free to comment and share your ideas.

been watching some proko vids lately, as well as reading through Andrew Loomis’s head and face anatomy book; practice and more practice haha. What do you think I should focus on? ^^

Not a whole lot to discuss here except that it took me FRIGGIN FOREVER to get it at least THIS accurate. It is crazy how hard your brain wants to put everything in the wrong place first and then you have to ..correct it? I don't know if I am making any sense lol.

Used a reference, wanted to focus on shading.

Practice with shadowing

Cross hatching practice with ink.

More practice with shading, this time on flowers. ❀❀❀❀ Pen/Ink/Graphite

I'm usually bad at portraits or drawing faces in general so I decided to practice a bit more and this was the result of my first serious attempt at a portrait drawing using graphite pencils and black fineliners

Crosshatching and stippling practice with a ink dip pen. Requires immense patience.

Some more practice with crosshatch shading and the proportions are a bit off. I also somehow made the left side of the bottle fat and it drives me nuts. ヘ（。□°）ヘ Other than that I think it came out ok.

I have found my new love in playing with the Glass Ink Pen where I can easily achieve specific lines that are hard to make with a regular pen. Here I am working to gain confidence in my permanent line work where I can't erase every second. I am also working to gain experience in cross hatching. which is very difficult.

Dip pen practice with puppies. I moved the puppies around a little in procreate. I tried coloring one with water color (the pink one) and it smeared. So I colored a few with Procreate.

Clouds moving through the sky inspire me to paint. One day I'm going to be able to capture how dynamic they are on the canvas. This is practice. Acrylic.

More practice drawing shapes from some still life blocks.

Kind of proud of this one lol graphite and charcoal

Concept design practice

Okay, like I said, I am cruddy at drawing hands so I decided to practice, here you go!

Change of pace.

This is someone's OC I drew (the design is not mine. No stealing please.) It's also one of my first attempts at drawing a dragon-like creature. This one, I'm pretty proud of. However, I need practice on drawing scales. Getting them to look right is more difficult than I thought. Overall, super happy with this picture. I hope the image makes your day a little more magical.
