Ahhhh glad you managed to keep it going despite not having the best of days (I know what that's like lol)
And indeed goes to show what spreading the mental workload onto previous days can do for helping when you're having a bad one.
Hmmm tracing - I've done it, infrequently, but actually had it on the list to try again. Just to make sure that I have the ability to draw what I want - tracing shows how good your lines are when you are drawing them in the right place. You can indeed learn a whole ton, especially from working zoomed in when tracing.
A tracing regimen is an interesting idea, as it might come in handy for those days when I'm completely not feeling like doing anything.
Regarding drawing images with different styles as well, my WIP processing is incredibly weak against this sort of thing - as it's suited for working on lots of similar images with the same brush and the same layer structure. So say, if I wanted to start drawing animals, I couldn't mix them in very well with people sketches, because the rendering and sketching will follow a different pattern to people sketches (i.e. no clothes or hair iterations, but fur rendering instead) It's one of the things that's annoying me as I think that's partially why I can't lean of my style.
and thanks. now it's only one day until I'm where I was last time and failed dramatically :P
awesome character and concept with the Azilovs. reminds me a little of the "my favourite martian" suit.
Day 24: Possibly one of my most favourite drawings, ever. This is the style I'm aiming for but even more of it, if you get what I mean. well it's a different kind of generic lol.
went hopelessly overtime (mostly because of shading and getting too serious) but totally worth it.
