Here are two more sets of thumbnails before a new daily challenge starts for august.
And all the drawings I did for last thursdays livestream.
I had my last active day at work this week. I’m still with the company until end of next week but effectively I’m now solo-freelance again.
In the meantime I did more practice thumbnails and participated in the Thursday drink & draw stream, 3 poses, 30min each.
There’s not much I can say in regards to these other than that I’m continuing my daily practice. Sometimes it’s easier, sometimes the head gets in the way. Even though these compositions utilize value groups, I often draw a rudimentary sketch to bring down my idea first. Even after all this time, I’m primarily a draftsman rather than a painter.
On thursday I joined the Drink & Draw livedrawing twitch stream. Unfortunately I was quite late and only managed to catch the very last pose of the drawing session.
I then learned that they also run a discord on which I discovered a daily challenge. I decided to join in since I need the practice. Here are my first two days of composition practice.
