Day 563: I watched some of @\illustratoreri's stream today and was inspired to try abandoning lineart and just go for colors/shapes. So far I'm liking it. I always color/render over my lineart anyway, so why not do it at an earlier step? Bonus face close-up.
Day 562: Outfit candidates. I think I like the first one most (black skirt, black lace), but tried to come up with several that look okay. Interesting how outfits and composition are strongly related. I should study more fashion.
Day 561: Probably going with something like this. It took way too much effort to even get this far 🥲. I rarely draw Nemuri, so this is a good chance to give her some time in the spotlight. No idea what I'm doing for her overall outfit yet, but her socks are non-negotiable.
Day 557: After figure drawing warm ups I *tried* to do a quick color rough from a reference. The sketch/lines look okay, so there's definitely a good foundation, I just have to keep working on/studying color choices.
Also, I now know how to do a basic stream!
Day 556: I don't know what's wrong, I'm just pathetically slow to draw anything right now.
Day 555: Rough lineart and blocking in some colors. Getting to this point is something I should be able to do much quicker, but I'm not in a super good mood for drawing today, so it took some time. Anyway, it looks good as a small thumbnail, so I'm probably on the right track.
Day 552: testing out a different process. I don't know that I like it so far.
Also, here's the finished request from the other day! Only took two days this time, but that's maybe because it's easier for me to draw/paint skin. Gotta keep working on my clothing game.
Day 548: I received a drawing request on pixiv! I'll probably finish it tomorrow, so I won't post the finished image unless the requester says it's okay. This still took several hours since I was struggling with colors as usual, but it feels like I'm getting better/faster overall
