How have you been! :) Hope your book writing is coming along fine! :) Well, those drawings are ok, I guess. Doing them have made me realized that drawing from imagination is very important (something I neglect totally in the past), because it lets you know what you dunno. :) Once school ends, I can go back to practicing the fundamental skills again, like drawing ellipses. LOL! Take care! Xeon Hi Maisie! How have you been! :) Hope your book writing is coming along fine! :)

You've come such a long way! They're really well done and polished :) I'm glad to see you put so much thought into them. You should be really proud of all this work, seriously.

How's life! :) Yeah, I noticed the drawing starts to stiffen up whenever I try to take stuff to a more finished state. I think it probably takes a hell lot of skills and a long long time before one learns how to make the muscles look lively and alive. LOL Still waiting for that day! Good luck! :D Hi Maisie! How’s life! :)

But the whole point of pen drawings are to show and build confidence in your strokes. Your small gestures are improving, but you seem to lose the energy and life in them when you construct the muscles. Also, for the 20minute large drawings, it might help to use charcoal which can be smeared around quickly for a fast way to put in value. Haha, pen drawing does take some time to get used to.

I will keep trying to draw traditionally though. If luck holds I might be taking a class with Vilppu next term, so you'll have more drawings then.

And I miss your figure drawings (charcoal, pencil etc.)! Those colored figure painting thumbnails don't count. :p Post more of them if you're still doing those! Good day!
