More Pics (cw Genitals) And Text Below

i can see i'm subscribed mostly to western people bc the posting rate was higher on christmas than it is tonight, thus indicating they seem to have the awkward family celebration on 25th rather than 31th

today's line of action

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

morning line of action. focused on shadows today: looked at the whole photo and thoughts which parts are the darkest, the lightest, a bit dark etc, picked a part (all the darkest areas, for example), drew a light line to mark the edges of that area and filled it in with respective value. i should think of a better way that allows more than 3 values and smoother transitions between shadow and light, but for now i like how it came out compared to yesterday. focused on faces too; it only goes for longer sketches but i resisted the temptation to leave the face blank or draw a -_- like thingy; i disliked what i was seeing while drawing them but now i think it's not horrible. i should do faces practice later to improve.

noticed that for some reason it takes me longer to draw feminine looking models than masculine looking ones. 5 minutes was enough to draw and shade the curvy guy, draw his face in a simplified way and his genitals (something i do rarely), and for the next 5 minute sketch of a lady i didn't even get to her head before time ran out. 10 minute lady's boobies are unshaded bc i ran out of time too. i wonder why is that; the answer might be bc i get lots of pictures of that particular guy for some reason and mb i learnt to draw him faster, but who knows. i wanted to shade the orb on the 25 minute one, but ran out of time exactly as soon as i was finished with the man. look at that orb tho, guess who is failing hard at drawabox ellipse tasks lol

it's the second time i do line of action in the morning instead of evening and both times i am satisfied more than on average; mb will make it a part of my morning routine (which is currently washing face, brushing teeth, mb shower and breakfast lol)

seeing other people in tumblr do same exercises daily makes me want to practice every day too

today i joined my friends late (on 5 minute stage) and after they finished did another 1.5 hours by myself (and then spent some more time on the final thing). tried drawing the final guy bigger (since drawing his legs is my best skill so far anyway lol) and focus on the face - and mb for the first time i like how it turned out, everything is more or less where it should be and the drawing even looks like the model! i am glad and post a closer photo of the face alongside the full pic.

almost all the other ones are bad, some that i don't post are even worse than what you see. it's combination of skill issue and being distracted by talking to mom and also explosions. visiting grandma and getting the full odesa experience - while i was drawing these an air raid was going on and apparently some house where people live was hit - i think it was far away from me though bc the sound wasn't loud. will monitor the news tomorrow and donate blood if my blood type is needed - or probably will do it anyway bc just yesterday was another "incident" (as in russian drone) where people got hurt and it's unlikely it will stop soon.
