Video Crusty #40
Artificially Flavored

which so far has involved me drawing a bunch of balls, and trying to shade them and understand light sources despite that not being the assignment at the moment, and doing so poorly!

some of them are better-rendered than others

i'd honestly like a better mechanical pencil brush for krita, though i like the pen brush i'm using now all right

also despite this being "day 2" i sort of ran ahead after doing the "day 2" exercise a few times and did days 3 and 4. i'll make sure tomorrow i start with the day 3 and day 4 exercises a few times before i do day 5, and so on and so forth?

you're like "i'm bored, fuck what day it is, i'm gonna draw some mother-fucking cylinders" and then you're like "okay cool that was fun, how about a weird ball golem stomping in from the horizon"

but then i decided to do the "day 6" exercise with pencil and paper, which was fun but maybe a mistake

also here's the redraws of days 3 - 5

the day 8 exercise is eyeballs looking the same direction

in honor of spooky season i made them kinda veiny

also have days 4 - 7 again

i do feel like my lines are getting straighter and more consistently closer to parallel when i want them to be, and my circles are getting more circular-feeling

it's so hard to quantify though, and once i paste the images into a chost, i start noticing how wobbly my lines still are etc. so maybe it's placebo a little

but they're still pretty fucking cool, I have still captured the gist of some poses

im so tired today ..
