It's been a while since my last submitted art but I swear I'm not lazing around.. Well, Kinda.

Not really sure how things work here but I'll just click post here to write things

I'm writing a progress report or something similar because a friend told me to write one every hundred pages of drawing finished or not, good or bad. and I think I've only posted around 10 haha.

I've taken drawing with great interest since November 2021 and chose Newgrounds as a repository for my art and see any improvements I have in my art journey. But I didn't post everything I made. I was also interested in game development at the time so my first serious art was a character design. It was terrible.

So at this stage, I also started watching youtube tutorials. and there were some improvements I guess but I think It's because I spent more time on the piece than I usually do but I was unable to finish the piece. Looking at it I kinda wish I knew what tutorial I was watching.

I've not posted any of my art yet but my friend keeps telling me to post one whether it's good or not.

Then one day I was like hey I like cats why don't I draw cats all the time and this is where the theme of cats started.

this was my first submission here in Newgrounds. Looking at it now I wish I spend more time working on this.

I started drawing lines and squares and circles.

I really liked playing accordion but always wished to own a concertina so I drew a cat playing one.

I really like how it came out so I will redraw it sometime in the future.

Then I drew more and have a few good ones that I didn't post.

I forgot why I decided not to post these even tho they were good maybe it's because they didn't look the same, I dunno.

Then I did some sketches and liked these in particular.

Then made it look nicer and named her Dakini

It looked really great and I liked the character so I'll be making more of her in the future.

At this stage, I was experimenting but I seem to not finish the pieces that I start.

December

I really liked using high lights here

This was really good but I got lazy in the background

This one really got to me, It's just a sketch but I really liked it.

Another Sketch but here she looked very different than expected but I learned a few about how important shapes and shades are or so I think. Decided to name her Ash

Sketched a lot more. most of them are incomprehensible but here are some that look like something other than squiggles.

Feb

I was busy with College work and delivering goods and produce to and from our family farm with my dad at the time.

We kept passing by a dam so I decided to draw the place.

This time I took it seriously but I always had problems drawing backgrounds and foliage so I lazily imitated something similar I do in traditional where I do scribble outlines for foliage. After this one, I wanted to draw a view from a mountain near where I live but I was not satisfied especially with the rocks so I plan to change and finish it sometime in the near future.

March

After doing more sketches I missed doing highlights.

It was good but I realized I need to learn anatomy or at least copy hand references by sight, I then later decided that improving my fundamentals is important in the long run. So I stopped thinking about correct anatomy for now since I'm still in the early stages and rushing things might do worse than good.

I watched a tutorial on youtube about foreground and background and this one looked good. for me at least.

After this Illustration, my friends started an event where we draw knights every other night

April

Started to get busy with more College work so I can only do sketches

I still have a few WIPs so I'll have something to finish when I have some free time and hopefully finish something this month.

and that's what I've worked on so far.

I guess I'll make another post in the next hundred page or sumthing.
