I know going outside is dangerous and during this quarantine makes me realize a lot of things about my life, self, and my surroundings. Makes me realize that I should accept things that was never meant to be on me or not working on me and learn from it. I want to improve more about things so I keep practicing but I'm still thinking of it where should I start? Did I really improve ever since? or it's still not enough. I'm not yet satisfied what I have today, I don't know why but something's missing that I can't explain what is it. But I thankfully for this quarantine happened, because I won't realize these things if this won't happened and now I learned from it and I need to do it and improve more and love myself more.
I draw this Castle from the movie Howl's Moving Castle, because I really, really love Studio Ghibli and I love the movie itself so I motivate myself to draw this and took me 3 days to complete this. I'm proud of this work because I put my very best to it, every single detail I did, too bad I don't have colorful markers that's why I use the gray tone markers that I have, but still looking good.
Everyone don't trust the timing of life, because sometimes they keep rushing things. Everything takes time you only need to trust it that's all. Everything will be okay soon.
On this slideshow you can see a lot of drawing for the first week of drawing lecture, at first you can see we practice how to draw a type of texture of silk. The next drawing is how the shadow works or where to put the shadow. I practice how to differentiate the two objects between thin and thick texture, and lastly, I draw a hair that have a little detail, like how the hair flows and the texture of the hair. The next set of drawing is you can see a lot of circles without using any guide or ruler just draw a circles free hand so that I can practice my accuracy of drawing circle. And then there's a lot of drawing that has a unique shape. The three faces drawing, I use the technique one line art that I don't lift my hand just continue to draw until it will show some shapes of faces like this and same technique to the hand, although it looks kinda messy and the flower vase for me is kinda tricky to draw line art that's why.
The next is the Head skull, where I learn how to manage the shadows and highlight of the skull so that it will look more realistic skull and very detailed. We draw a lot of objects to improve more. The types of shadow or texture so that we have an idea or what are we gonna use on the future arts we can use it as a reference, and lastly with the sumo portrait that I must show how the shadow and highlight works to the sumo object so that it will look more realistic. And the next set of drawing you can see a character that the background is filled with shapes. The next one is we need to draw a portrait, this portrait is one of my favorite and proudest art that I ever made last year, because I don't usually draw portrait drawings that's why I give my very best to finish this and the result is so beautiful. The next one is we need to draw a human anatomy that's why I draw a human anatomy while dancing and posing, the next one is another human anatomy but with actions, so I did some falling actions that I might use in the future for reference. The one is I draw a Japanese zen garden one perspective, this is the second proudest and favorite of my art, because for some reason I like the color of it and the little details, shadows and highlights. The last two drawings are my recent drawing that I made, we need to make our own character both anime and cartoon so I look for some inspiration and compile it as one and then boom I like how it finished. I learned a lot of technique and apply it every art that I made and I keep on practicing to improve more of my art.
Why everyday routine? Because this is what I feel everyday, everynight. My anxiety, insecurities, problems make me feel tired or exhausted at the same time I cannot do any work like I'm not feeling motivated or energetic to do anything, even though I tried to push myself on limit it won't work. I cannot avoid these things, because there have been here since my senior high school they keep on growing and growing that's why I keep on trying to avoid them and learn from them. I draw this just to express or let anyone know what I feel or someone is feeling the same as mine.
I named her Jeanne, I was inspired by Okayu from HololiveJP and the game Final Fantasy XIII. I really idolized okayu and I really love the character of lightning from Final Fantasy so I took the inspiration of the hair and put some cat ears with green eyes because it suits her the blue hair, and that's how my own character made and inspired by.
My very first cartoon own character I named her Alexandrea Mikhaelis, it's a long name because I was inspired by the anime I'm watching named "Alexa Mikhael", so I recreate her name by Alexandrea Mikhaelis her appearance was inspired by my old self when I got long hair with no bangs and always wearing a sweater.
