@Addy: I think it also depends what the artist sees and thinks what they should convey for it as well.

Only hand and painting water stops me from finishing my Usagi piece.
The rest of it is finished. The whole pose and colors.

I will show sneak peek cause it's 99% done

Yeah, i feel i just need a good session of consistent hand studies to return to her.
also not sure how big of a print she'll be. Probably not very big
but i am proud of her.

@Lilykin: Thank you

@Addy: Sailor moon I love but the original redraw that everyone did i couldn't.
That one specific redraw was and usually goes around because the expression is very hard
to convey. I wanted to do that to work on expressions but anatomy. my enemy.

But i am happy with Minako's progress.
and Will do another redraw of another show I love so that way I am actively working on smaller projects.

I normally work on very hard projects.
I had an usagi piece i was working on that i may sell as a print
but hand is so hard so I'll continue that later when the hand wont look terrible. :vanora_sweat:

@xvz: It goes around every year.
I just haven't done any studying since i only started making actual art and finishing it this year.
So I'm a bit behind.

I usually know what to make but my progress on personal stuff is very slow.
so figured i could just do some redraws to keep myself posting and studying in between
and finish my big projects a little later.


@ChiffonOrange: Thank you

@xvz: The original concept for sailor moon redraw was a pose i couldn't achieve
as I'm not good about perspective.
So I chose a picture that I wanted to do instead as I still wanted to participate.

Here is the redraw image

Not exactly like it but i needed something to draw
as i have not drawn fully in a month or over a month.

I have drawn something finally that's not super WIP looking

Sailor Venus or Minako Aino From Sailor moon.

Was suppose to be a redraw but I improvised a little for the background
and ended up really liking it.
It's not complete but all I have to do is draw the Kanji and color them.
So not much left to do.

@Addy: Maybe if i keep it up for 3 months or more.
I'm extremely behind on my studies.

I'm not comfortable showing my bad hands as they are extremely bad.
Though i haven't really been up to showing all my other art either.
not in a pleasant place with my work still.

I've been spending all day working on my website. Because procrastination.

@Lilykin: Yup no idea what else to do.
My birthdays are usually terrible tho so we'll see what i decide for it.
as i don't want to do too much as my depression hits really hard during winter.

Ah i see, very cute.

@Lilykin: for real life is stressful.

I do want to do a draw this in your style possibly for my birthday.
Which is the end of the year so maybe I'll host something along those lines.
I'll also try to come up with things.

What kind of doll is it?

@Lilykin: I need a year long recharge it feels like.
I've taken a month off but just not sure if I'm fully recharged since i have a lot to get done.

Yeah. For me their just really exhausting to draw even if their just 3-5 minute gestures.
I have very limited stamina right now. So for now only hands and arms for one month and moving on to another body part
is how I'll be doing it.

I think that would be a redraw instead of a draw this in your style challenge
I'll just see what other users would want to do. Though i don't think I'll be doing challenges or anything
anytime soon. I might do it later in the year near winter or something starting in the fall
as i have a lot of challenging things RL at the moment.

@Lilykin: I never really had interactions such as these before i got social media.
I only recently started posting my art. :vanora_sweat:
I've been drawing forever but 2016-2019 was a really bad time for me so i could barely finish art
and also didn't have the means to get the tools I needed.

I'm kinda like a ghost on avatar sites. I'll talk but then disappear so i don't have any contact with past friends
as i wasn't social enough to make friends. lol.
I also flee communities fairly easily. If things feel too taxing mentally for me or i just don't feel i have friends
or going to make any, then i just bail. I am a lone bat 90% of my life lol. Even in RL. lol.

It's Not really an art tutorial. I am only following an artist's advice they gave their watchers on their stream as it's way too hard for me to do gesture drawing because it feels i have to se all my energy just to draw/sketch out one. So she said you can just focus on one part of the body like eyes/faces, or in my case hands/arms as I struggle with those the most. But because i have severe allergies[like swollen and very red eye i could barely see out of]
I haven't started on what I'm supposed to do.
For me I'm not sure i'd be ideal to make the draw this in your style challenge because right now i just can't stand to look at my own work.
Other users in this thread can host their own challenge if they wish.
I just don't think i have any ideas that are more than just a small idea.

@Lilykin: I made this thread just to reach other artists and just to talk about art
and to have something to push me to want to improve my own work.
Before making the thread felt i didn't have many supporters of m work and it made me feel why am I bothering wit art in the first place lol.

I mainly only talk about art so I figured "why not just make an art thread."
And just came up with things along the way to get others involved and not make it about me.

Not sure what challenges i would make tbh.
Not good with ideas. I don't want to make something too taxing on me.
