This is why I have not been drawing lately....

[Shambbo @shambbo]

YIPPEE!!! YIPPEE!!!!!

[ShamboART @ShamboART]

I havent been very consistent over the past week, i have a terrible addiction to procrastination and a bunch of other tasks swarmed me so I couldnt focus on my growth
Gonna try to dial in so that I can both improve with art and actually graduate college on time 💀

[ShamboART @ShamboART]

Today I wanted to try and draw that stupid ass picture of Enjin I always see in Instagram comments
I freeballed ts in one go with a reference on my other monitor, wasnt even side by side
WE ARE IMPROVING, THE IMPROVEMENT IS REAL!!!!

[ShamboART @ShamboART]

2/2 The eyes look a little bit dopey, but its actually really interesting. I traced the eyes at first since I couldnt see the details in my reference and I put the trace side by side with my sketch so I could imitate the shape, I guess Fujimoto is made of magic or something lol

Learning to Draw Progress:
Today I was swamped with classes so on top of my warmup I decided to do a line sketch of Asa from Chainsaw Man using a reference from the manga.
After a couple attempts I think it came out good. 1/2

Progress Report:
im feeling a lot less sick now yippee!!
today i tried drawing my gestures a little bit differently and I also tried capturing the action of the pose better.
i also tried cutting my time down after each figure to really challenge myself!

Learning to Draw update:
I have not been lazy i swear, I have been too sick to pick up the pen and its also put me behind on my studies.
My body needs to LOCK IN so I can LOCK IN and pick up the dang pen again and catch up on schoolwork..

here's rukia btw

Learning to Draw Progress Report:
Drew Soi Fon using a reference I found on google, you can definitely tell this isnt an AI drawing because of how bad my hand is 💀
I'm kinda getting stumped at what to do for practice, not sure if I'm improving or not, but ill trust the process!

[ShamboART @ShamboART]

PROGRESS REPORT!!!
I saw a video that said panel recreation is a good exercise for learning about the things you like about a certain style, so I tried one of Aki ontop of my gesture drawings. Some weird poses today in the generator, but I'm proud of what I did :)

[ShamboART @ShamboART]

Today along with gesture drawing, I decided to draw Johnny Joestar!
I've been reading some more Steel Ball Run and it is so peak.
I also tried to practice my line control today, could use some work.
I'm going back into college for one more semester, I'll try and stay locked in!!!

[ShamboART @ShamboART]

Today's gesture drawing was a lot easier, timer felt longer for some reason, dunno what was up yesterday

I also wanted to draw Zanka from Gachiakuta, I did 2 drafts based on a reference, I think I did pretty good!

[ShamboART @ShamboART]

Another day of timed gesture drawings. I did 2 minutes again and I swear that timer was moving faster than last time 💀
I am a little disappointed in how they look compared to last time, but im obviously not drawing anything perfect in 2 minutes. Maybe if i had 3....

[ShamboART @ShamboART]

Today I wanted to try something new
The exercise I chose was timed gesture drawings, I did 10 random poses with roughly 2 minutes each

It's already difficult to get proportions when I try doing gestures, the timer definitely challenges me more. I will do more in the future

[ShamboART @ShamboART]

Notes of what I need to work on:
-the right eye 💀
-perspective
-hair
-I either make top of heads too tall or too short
-and uhh everything else

[ShamboART @ShamboART]

Before and After
I am really surprised with myself today. Despite Power #1 looking like she had a stroke, I somehow managed to look at my reference and draw a pretty good mouth, nose, jaw, and left eye(?)
I also did a warmup of line control w/ circles and lines
Good practice!!

[ShamboART @ShamboART]

ts took 3 hours bro😭
slow and steady would be an understatement

[ShamboART @ShamboART]

Update 3 or 4 i think?
I practiced today with a reference of Makima, and once I got a copy of her face that I liked, I tried copying the body of the ref too
The hardest part of today was def nailing her chin and jawline, i did fairly well with eye placement and everything else

[ShamboART @ShamboART]

Today I did some gesture drawing practice using a character reference, I think I did pretty well!!
It also is definitely not obvious which character I used lol ⚡️🐈���⬛⚡️

[ShamboART @ShamboART]

1st Progress report!
Today I did a copy analyze fix exercise using Aki's face (the red and green are the traced lines from the reference)

I also attached a practice I did the other day using Sandman as ref (the hand is traced, i just wanted to see if it looked good)

more soon

[ShamboART @ShamboART]

whether they be good or bad.
If there are any experienced artists out there, any tips, advice, or encouragement would be much appreciated.
But if anyone is also working towards a creative goal, let's hold each accountable and grow together :)

[ShamboART @ShamboART]

Hello Twitter/X
I am starting this account to keep myself accountable with following through on my goal to practice and get good at drawing and art
This year I want to be committed and to do so, I am going to be posting progress updates of my journey here and every sketch I make;
