I've been drawing more often these past few days (up to 4 pages filled on my sketchbook) and while they're not the best, hearing from artist friends that I'm improving steadily is just. An instant shot of serotonin aimed at my balls.
My life/photograph drawings aren't very good yet but, my friends say my hands are pretty good for a beginner even so (wrist and back of the hand are the only real issue), and even if I think the lynx looks bad, "it's still more practice"... aaaaaaahhhhhh♥
If I had to pick one pic to be proud of it'd be this Toei Sonic redraw I did back in July, using a screencap from the Sonic CD ending as reference.
I tried to draw this once back in like 2014? Rena probably remembers this. But it was very low quality and looked like a plain scribble. It took a while but I've managed to learn how to see a bit in the time from then to now.
I sometimes forget to break objects into shapes though. That's also why this Sonic looks accurate-ish.
It's all a learning experience I guess. Everything's so hard, but we find ways to cope with it and make it easier to handle.
