Description So, I need a lot of help with my art... I really want to be a lot better before I start doing commissions or drawing my graphic novel, and I'm a firm believer that improvement can be willed. If you really want to do better, then why aren't you? Anyway, here's me putting my money where my mouth is and really trying to do something. Everyday, I'll try to update this with warm ups I'm doing. Each day is a different focus.

[Day 1] For the first day of this, I decided to work on boobs and chest proportions. I've often felt and been told that the boobs I draw on my characters look really off, so I referenced more tutorial pictures and reference stock photos than I'd like to admit. Compared to my usual art, definite improvement on the way they hang and how they attach to the body. I also tried a new technique for sketching, where I tried using triangle shapes instead of my regular circle sketch outlines. Anyway, that was cool! I do like these more than my old ones.

[Day 2] Decided I wanted to practice eyes today. I tried a whole bunch of stuff, and while I'm definitely happier, I still feel my eyes have a long way to go. Seems I can't really draw the sparkly anime eyes I want to yet, or realistic ones for that matter. However, I did watch some tutorials and found a cool way to make some lighting effects with the watercolor brush, and I feel like that will go a long way into eventual improvement. Also worked on coloring bodies with some tutorials I found for shading skin. REALLY LIKING THOSE RIGHT NOW ( ; v ; ) Just need to remember to define the rib cage better on other drawings. After all the half-assed eyes, at least the day wasn't a total bust! Lol Also, the character I drew some of the eyes over belongs to kennnii

[Day 3] So it may look like I did very little today, but I actually spent forever (like 6 hours) drawing a fullbody picture of Cymbeline using a ton of tutorials. I have a headshot of the picture I drew there to show you the hair I was working on. I also did a quick sketch of Noriko, which belongs to Sen-Draw . I intend to color her soon, I'm just burned out from drawing my OC earlier XD


[Day 4] See you tomorrow~

Ah this is some lovely improvement indeed.
This kind of stuff would definitely be necessary for something as big as a graphic novel ^^
I take you'll also be working on males or is it just females?

Aw, thanks so much!!
I really hope it will help me with my upcoming projects~
And I'll work on males soon! I just thought drawing boobs usually involved females. lol sorry. That was just the theme of my first day. I've been told they never look right, and wanted to tackle that.

This is such a wholesome way to practice, I look forward to see your updates soon! I'm sure you'll improve over time but this already looks great so let's hope your future sketchies will be even better!

// DERPYDERPY, just going to casually leave this here~ The-Star-Fruits . Graphic novel indeed!

Aw, thanks man! I often take requests to improve, but I figure since those can take so long, just focusing on one thing specifically in sketches may help. I've already seen some proportions on the chest looks. I hope eyes get that good soon too~ Thanks for your kind words!
