I’d spent some time working in marker and ballpoint. The reason I chose it was I wanted to get better at laying out big shapes without editing them, as one can, with a pencil. There’s definitely trade offs with going this route but I like how decisively the shapes need to be made. Big edits are intimidating because I hate whiteout all over the page. But dude the hands were tough on this one.

From a month ago or so. I really liked how the color pencil feels on the paper when drawing there’s a smooth brain tingly sensation. It’s not weird at all 🙄

Pencil work today!

That time I spent waaay too much effort lining and coloring

A couple of caps and shell done in ballpoint from a couple weeks ago.

Some portrait effort from yesterday. Went with graphite rather than the vermilion color pencil.

This is the most recent portrait doodle and I really tried to get the likeness correct. Tiny adjustments make or break it and I feel like I can do better

I spent a couple months practicing portraits and I think this is one of the better ones - haven’t done one in a while so I should probably do one again soon

Probably the most time intensive thing I’ve done

So it’s like Twitter but I sucked at Twitter
