i will bring all the rodents of afghanistan to the mother base. imagining pequod having to catch that little fella on a small balloon and give him a gajillion km ride. it's a shame they are supposed to go into the zoo platform instead of running all over the place.

i love how if you look at low poly rats, the less polygons there are the more it explores the basic shape of a rat, the rat shape essence. i am always excited to see a lower poly rat model. which even more simple shape can a rat be boiled down to?

You can do it, Boss.

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

i should do a challenge "draw every time you hear an explosion or anti air defense sounds" while i'm here, lol. wanted to stay at a friend's place overnight but returned home before curfew to do line of action (bc i would have just chatted with him the whole time otherwise), an hour later there was an explosion not far from him. could've witness the action from the front row if i stayed, but parents would know where i am and would worry and it's nothing i haven't seen before anyway, so no regrets. i write stuff like "lol" or "action" but just to be clear - it is not fun and people get hurt and die and lose their possessions such as home, don't be a war victim if you can and definitely don't go and be an occupant in foreign country, you are not welcome and no possible repercussions for draft evasion or defecting are a valid reason to do that.

anyway, noticed that i gave the guy few extra ribs only on shading stage when there were 4 minutes left, decided to not fix it. both proportions and shadings are a bit off today, i should pay more attention next time, but it seems the faces are improving. i try to make sure i draw the face during figure drawing if there's enough time. the last pic is faces only study i did yesterday after figure drawing - most of them are very bad but i liked 3 of them.

i will try to ask my friend to pose for me. tried that with another friend a while ago and the results are nothing to share; i hope now my skill is good enough.
