TOPIC | Drawin 4 100 days challenge - misery 101
1 2 3 4 5
Click here to see my most recent entry!
----
A while ago, I saw some people talking about some guy named Pewdiepie who did a "Drawing for 100 days" challenge. This interested me for two simple reasons:

1. The lad couldn't really draw at the start of his challenge, but managed to make some nice art towards the end of it.

2. My art's been suffering for a while, so if a guy who didn't have much drawing experience could do it, why can't I?

---

What I'll be doing in this challenge:

1. Studies of different animals so that I can actually draw breeds lile Aethers and Pearlcatchers. People who can draw those things are friggin' wizards man. You do NOT know how hard it is lol. (Oh, and backgrounds.)

2. Crying in a corner at 3 AM because I'll be forcing myself to not only COLOUR, but also do absolutely wretched lineart.

3. My thoughts at the end of each day, which may help whoever takes a lil peek at this thread. If this challenge interests you, why not try it when you have the time?

4. Testing my ability to commit to something for more than ten minutes. My procrastination abilities are unmatched, my guy.

If you wanna be notified when I finish a day, then feel free to subscribe to this pinglist!



Also, feel free to give constructive criticism! I’m here to get better, afterall.

Woo, it’s time 2 start baybeee! Day 1: Gijinka-fying dragons & also drawing them regularly. Exposé 1 - Elizabeth, who belongs to @/VickSlayzies! [url=https://ibb.co/YpNWvcV][img]https://i.ibb.co/D51b39j/IMG-0087.png[/img][/url] Notes: I found a way to make fake “scales” without having to draw them. Probably won’t work all that well with an actual reptile, but seems to be ok when doing a gijinka. Also, references matter!! Exposé 2 - a pearlcatcher going nuts and eating soup [url=https://ibb.co/JRWn49S][img]https://i.ibb.co/wNZyXf2/IMG-0094.png[/img][/url] Notes: Used snakes as reference. Specifically, snakes that are about to attack.

Day 2 - A deer and a can of soup.

I've never really drawn a deer before, so yeah. Also, I learned that you can make a masking layer on procreate so that your brush strokes are more even!

Won't mention the brand, though :^] Extra: [url=https://ibb.co/Jr7fY0c][img]https://i.ibb.co/nQcHXZw/Messenger-creation-20eb3f21-975d-4a7e-8525-8e37e6eff193.jpg[/img][/url] Notes: deer soup

Day 3- Rams. (Actually day 3 and 4, but shhh) [url=https://ibb.co/wNKVCp7][img]https://i.ibb.co/HDr6YGC/IMG-0108.png[/img][/url] First started with a couple minor doodles to get an idea of how to draw a ram.. [url=https://ibb.co/p17Lygp][img]https://i.ibb.co/YNCLZ6G/IMG-0107.png[/img][/url] Then I drew one! I had to make the face longer a couple of times, as I kept making it too short. Thank the stars we have a re-sizing tool, eh? The next day, I decided to do some more lil doodles before trying another ram. [url=https://ibb.co/Gv0RC1P][img]https://i.ibb.co/SXPBV1v/IMG-0109.png[/img][/url] Not that many, but I daresay that they looked way better than the first set. It seems I might want to draw a ram with its tongue sticking out..? Might try that on day 4. Anywho, here’s the second drawing I made. Somewhat rushed, but not bad. [url=https://ibb.co/cLK8vfp][img]https://i.ibb.co/TLD0Tjn/IMG-0106.png[/img][/url] I wanted to see if I could do a fur texture, proceeded to fail miserably but left it the way it was. Notes: I’m gonna be happy when I’m done with rams.

@SentientGrass

Thanks for saying that, I appreciate it a lot :]

I plan on persevering, even if some of the things I draw look a little odd. That’s how you improve, after all!

Day 4 - Feathers and more rams. [url=https://ibb.co/hWf81bV][img]https://i.ibb.co/ncCk89j/Wow-an-image-of-your-auraboa-by-claudiaan.png[/img][/url] This was drawn for @/Nasicus in another thread I have, and I wanted to practice cleanish line-art. Ah and, I also decided to try and mimic the way dragons in FR are coloured. Probably failed, but I think it looks neat. (Rams will appear soon.) Nvm , no rams for today.

Day 5- Terrible start, good ending. My day first started off with this drawing. [url=https://ibb.co/26YQw3h][img]https://i.ibb.co/mBFwm5T/IMG-0154.png[/img][/url] I spent around ~2 hours trying to get the right pose, failed miserably and felt somewhat demoralized. It’s ok though, I still like it. The dragon belongs to @/Islet btw. There were several more, and they were progressively getting worse, but that’s also ok. I didn’t want to let my day end on such a bad note, so I decided to draw a human using a reference. [url=https://ibb.co/09w4Bpz][img]https://i.ibb.co/c8mfbKs/IMG-0157.png[/img][/url] 10/10, if I say so myself. I didn’t waste several years of my life drawing humans/humanoids for nothing. Obviously it could be rendered and whatnot, but I just wanted a sort of messy sketch drawing instead.

Day 6 - good ole doodles (line art testing!) [url=https://ibb.co/xzQRqnV][img]https://i.ibb.co/DwnSfB3/IMG-0313.png[/img][/url] (For @/Ghilanian, from my thread where I do free human/humanoid art) Very cool drawing. The magic of using pretty effects. Here’s how it looks when there’s none. [url=https://ibb.co/Pc9VVh9][img]https://i.ibb.co/bs2GGB2/IMG-0314.png[/img][/url] Obviously still looks nice, but the effects do make quite the difference! Though, that hand/arm seems to blend in a little too much. Ah well, a worthy sacrifice for a pretty drawing! Which apparently took me around 4 hours to do.
