Back To My 50 Millers Grind Before Work

redraw of a comic from a few months ago, now about three times as long ^_^

Honestly the funniest part of Conclave was every character whipping out their reading glasses whenever they needed to look at something because they're all old as fuck and can't see.

today really was one of the days of all times... did 30 minutes instead of usual 60, not saying anything about these

i tried to go to femboy hooters but it was just this guy there and he'd only talk about the horrors of war has this happened to anyone else

more monsoon

i can't draw lips but i'm learning on him

more monsoon again. i meant to draw his feet position on top, detailed hands folded behind his back on the bottom and a full piece of his back (with hands folded) on the right but got caught up adding some "background" to the hands

was thinking about sundowner due to him having a nice and kind of unexpected song and forming my first impression of metal gear rising, and have found a cool blog @/justabrick with cool arts and interesting sundowner speculations. might draw him next

watched an hour long lecture on face drawing to be able to draw monsoon better... i doubted i would be able to apply any of that, but it seems it was useful to some extent

reference, text and more below

i guess drawing this guy the other day paid off bc this is the best i have managed to make to date. didn't actually take me 25 minutes, i was doing it for ~20 extra minutes bc i liked how it was going so far and wanted to finish. might return to it later and fix it a bit more.

i am satisfied with the 5 minute guy and not satisfied with the 5 minute lady at all, as well as the 10 minute lady except for hair which is my most decent attempt at conveying long hair structure so far.

text and a silly doodle from yesterday below

i did line of action yesterday as well but didn't post.

i like the 10 minutes breakdancing guy (even although the shoulder is bad) and especially his pants; i mostly draw naked people bc it lets me see the anatomy better and yesterday while working on a small passion project it became obvious that i don't know what do pants look like lol. so this sketch was also my pants practice, in a way.

the longest sketch isn't much of upgrade from the 10 minute one, but that's ok i guess.

in a yt video there was an advice to do both practice and passion projects. i'd like to redraw one post i've seen here, which requires to practice faces, poses from imagination (or reference) and drawing specific characters. the first character i decided to draw is kazuhira miller from mgsv, and i was anxious bc i care about that character and would like to do him justice and draw him good. i opened a reference - the concept arts (full body and face) and the 3d model - and tried drawing the same things for now. i still have noticeable skill issue just drawing people (and faces especially), so even copying the exact same thing wasn't perfect, but i kinda like how the small doodle of his head (the one in the middle) came out and am posting ot below just as a small celebration. after this exercise i understood that i should as well practice drawing clothes and shoes (and mb guns if i will decide to be thorough). overall it went better than i expected.
