Gravity

Post title pulled from the title of Star Driver's first opening.

It's been a long time since I last updated. Over the past few weeks, (or is it, "past month?") I'd been hit with this draining, stressful sensation...a depression, I guess. During that time, I couldn't really bring myself to draw.

As a result, I didn't update. Obviously.

But as the weather's become clearer, so has my mood and mind. That's why I've got an update for you today.

This drawing of Rose Hero's cast was produced back before Spring Break hit...I drew it with the intention of practicing using different tones on each character's outfit, to see what worked best. That just didn't happen. Especially with how monstrously-disproportionate Rosa's body is.


This was drawn up...sometime last week, I think. Mostly just to show off Black Iris. I try to ignore Richard down in the bottom right.

But then each time I tried to draw, nothing but garbage came out. This is that garbage. Nothing too great here... Or at least, nothing like I wanted, anyway.

So, I figured I'd just do life drawings. As per the usual, I drew my left hand. These didn't turn out so badly, I think. Especially since I didn't let myself eat lunch that day until I'd filled the page with hands.

No lunch-deprivation technique in use here. Just drawings of my hand, plus some stuff out of the Nordstroms catalogue in my bookbag.

And just today I drew up, inked, scanned, and (sort of) touched-up this page. This page is proof of my good mood returning. The fact that I drew it, I mean.

...I can't render water at all. I need to overcome this.
