More of those ugly bus sketches. I don’t mind them, it helps me explore things without expecting something “terrific” to come out…which is all too much the reason artists have “art block” I always find something to draw I just don’t expect the same goal of something that needs to be posted.
Some were referenced but a lot came out of my head. The goal sometimes isn’t “make a cool looking character” the goal is to become more confident in drawing. Stop bad habits like hairy and unsure lines. Be more accurate. Find a new way of rendering light, form, shadow etc.. Other goals were understanding skeletal anatomy, instead of focusing purely on surface anatomy. I am posting these so I get a better look at my progress instead of turning pages.
