Free Drawn (obv.) Because I Haven't Been Drawing [because Papers And University And My Lack Of Time Management

free drawn (obv.) because I haven't been drawing [because papers and university and my lack of time management skills]. 

Majorly annoyed bc when trying to save this as a jpg to crop it up and post it, ps cc lost my working psd file. To be fair, I probably wouldn't have come back to this to make it an actually passable drawing, but having my layers gone is irritating,

Also, used a layer of water colour paper (found out how here: http://www.simplymessingabout.com/2013/04/it-not-about-brush-digital-watercolor.html) to get a watercolour texture. Don't really know how well it worked.

it's crap, but I don't hate it.

I've got a lovely new Wacom Intuos (it's like crack, I can't stop using it) and I've started drawing again -- not well, though. To practice I'm doing this, though not in 30 days; I'm not suicidal...and also have school and things. Anywho, if I keep up with being motivated, I'll post what I do here, at least until I get bored and forget about it. So the list (from above) is thus:

Self-Portrait - Introduce yourself

Draw a figure using a reference - link to reference Woman Sitting Against Blue and Purple

Draw a figure that’s in action, using a reference - link to reference

Draw a part of the human anatomy you have trouble with. x20, with atleast 5 being skeletal/musculature studies.

Draw more figures. Quick gestures and silhouettes. x20, with atleast 10 different body shapes

Let’s have some fun. Design a character from this character generator. (created by PreservedCucumbers)

Pick the weirdest object in your house/room. Draw it. Shadows and Highlights.

Find 2-3 objects, make a scene with them. Draw it. Bonus points for creativity. Double points for dramatic lighting.

Draw a landscape of a place you’ve never been or drawn.

Draw a BG with 1pt Perspective. Negative points if it’s a railroad or an empty street.

Draw a BG with 2pt Perspective.

Look out a window. Draw what you see. Bonus points for adding something interesting.

Draw an interior setting with the character you designed on Day #6 in it.

BG with either bird’s eye or worm’s eye view.

Halfway there! Draw three ‘action’ scenes with different compositions in each. Quick sketches are fine, just make them interesting and understandable! Bonus points if it’s the same scene, but different composition.

Draw a single page comic with 5-7 panels (the story begins and ends on one page). 

Draw an animal you’ve never drawn before. x10  Link references.

Draw a car. Negative points for whining. Hint: Use a perspective grid.

Think of the thing you hate drawing the most. Guess what? Draw it! Negative points for lying to yourself.

Pick an object in your house/room. Now design a character from it, using the shapes, forms, textures, purpose and colors as inspiration. Also link/post the object you used. Negative points for using a humanoid action figure.

Draw a character/object/scene, and shade them using ONLY solid blacks and whites. Bonus points for good use of lights/shadows

Draw a different object/scene/character. Shade using hatching, crosshatcing, and/or pointillism. Bonus points for lights/shadows and textures.

Colors! Pick a color palette, and paint a scene/character/object using only those colors (some blending allowed). Bonus points for good use of lights/shadows.

Draw and color a scene/object/character - no lines allowed! (aka - lineless art). Don’t forget light and shadows!

Draw a scene/character in a style you’ve never drawn before. If emulating an artist, credit+link. Bonus for color style.

Draw a character. Draw 10 emotions/expressions. Bonus points for ‘uncommon’ emotions. (i.e. anxiety, guilt, despair, loneliness etc.)

Draw three random shapes using your opposite hand (or your foot). Now design characters from those shapes.

Turn on the tv (or load your illegally downloaded movies). Pick an actor and draw them.

Almost done! Let’s have some fun. Draw some fanart. Bonus points if it’s super obscure and unknown. Make people guess what it’s from.

Last day! Find a drawing you did within the last year. Now draw it again using what you’ve learned! Link it for comparison!

Garg, I've never used this site before -- I haven't a clue what to do!

Are you tired of feeling like your art just isn’t improving? Do you want to do a 30-day challenge that’s actually useful? Welcome to 30 Days of Improvement Hell. >:D

I made this because I’ve been feeling super ‘blah’ about my art these days, and I needed something to kick-start myself. Who wants...

Everything is weird but I'm too tired to fix it, also to paint it properly. I always feel like I'm cheating if I use to liquefy tool, so I gotta redraw the bad (all) parts. Also, I kinda love that weird llustrate-y thing of red-ing joints, etc. I suck, but I kinda use it, in my own anaesthetized-ham-fisted way, anyway.

2-3 hrs? i make myself sad.

On a happy note: I really like having a graphic tablet. I kinda suck donkey balls at art things, but I like being able to mess around in photoshop and not have to get messy with and spend cash on paints and graphite. So I suck, but it's better than...expensive, messy sucking? I don't even know where I'm going with this.

Just a doodle/lighting+colour experiment, but I felt I ought to post something. It makes me keep up drawing things, having to post often, so yay for self-imposed rules.

Also everything's probably wrong, but I can't see it right now. When I started (boobs first, always; could be innocuous, or a subconscious signal from my repressed psyche... [it's actually just way easier to put things in the right place that way]) I made the hips+waist WAY too small. Make a note: hips=awesome, awesome=big, .'. hips=big. I miss math. But, I actually quite like this. I should finish, obviously, but I like it now. Yay for not always disliking what you draw!

Also also, I love sketching with colours! Why did I always just use black? Silly vanilla thinking.

Not for anything, I just wanted to watch some tv and draw.

~3 hours. i like the skin and hair. eyes and mouth and nose are weird. Can you tell I don't like putting bodies to faces?

from a reference picture, so I don't even get credit for pose. All evening and it still looks bum. Will I have to do something else for school? If I'm smart: yes. If I don't give enough of a fuck to think of something new to do: no.

Along with everything else that's wrong with it, I once again am apparently scared to use anything to provide contrast. Boring.
