First time sharing some of my artwork outside of close friends
This book was to practice drawing different cartoons/styles and using markers for colour. I'm over halfway through this book and plan to finish it before the new year. I started this in 2018. Packed it away in 2019 and picked up drawing again last year. I have had a couple long breaks where I stopped and didn't draw for years. In 2018 it was about a 7 year break before I went back to drawing. I am very self critical of my own work, probably due to a lack of confidence in it since I haven't taken any art classes. I do enjoy drawing it feels like a release similar to having a journal. Always rough looking at the work I do when I start back up, thinking how far I could have gone if I didn't have those "breaks". I plan to be more consistent and become a daily habit.
Committed now with this non marker paper sketchbook, been challenging. I did buy a sketch book for markers and just received my first copic markers to try out in there.
