Day 12 of ! Contour hatching. At this point hatching no longer is feeling hard, but I don't think my brush works well for it lol. I'm happy with this exercise despite the style feeling so foreign to me.

Day 5 of Long Strokes! Trying to not use scribbly short strokes can be really hard sometimes, so I look for references that have long flowing lines. The perspective was super fun! Ref by
