Working From Photos...Mostly.

Still breaking that new sketchbook in. Working from a lot of photo references in some desperate attempt to improve my understanding of...

...

...actually, what I'm trying to achieve by doing this is beyond me, but with any luck, I'll see an improvement somewhere. Maybe. Possibly. With hope.

Images off of Flickr, for the most part. That would be my (disproportionate?) face down in the bottom-left.

More Flickr images. Horribly proportions and perspective on the girl on the right.

...and I won't even delve into the errors in the faces here. The figure on the left turned out fairly nicely, though.

So I took a shot at trying to draw stylistically, after a night of drawing from photos off of Flickr, and...I was severely disappointed while I struggled to consistently an accurately depict the face of one of my characters. EVERYTHING IS A FAILURE. EVERYTHIIIIINGGGGGG

So I awoke today, and decided to try drawing before doing anything else...which ended mostly in frustrated failure that emerged only after I stopped drawing the faces of Japanese people. Make of that what you will.

SO.

Five images in this update.
110 drawings total.
255 to go.
However, I should have...122 drawings by today.

I'm behind by 12, still.

Slowly working back to speed...Slowly.
