Some yeens for thee... that one spotted guy looked good to me for a minute, but then I inked over the pencil layer, and now it doesn't look as great. oh well. Got some ideas for the next few, but... it might be above my skill level, we'll see... ._. #16, a few days.

Won't lie, first three weeks of being off nicotine slaughtered all the joy in my life, including doing art. So grateful to everyone who popped by and checked in, though 🥰 But the drive is slowly, slowly coming back. here's a mashup of heads I did while watching things. I'll count this as one #15

God I hate doing this shit and that's exactly why I need to do this shit This doesn't count with the count, it is severely needed practice

Reptile heads. I've been very self-abusive over my art lately. "You're so far behind," I've been telling myself. Looking at this, I realize it wasn't just about skulls or anatomy... I barely understand shape and perspective. Back to more basics. You don't get curated me, you get the struggle :E #14

Absolutely 600% ran out of steam doing this mustelid one, especially trying to get the damned head shapes Just gotta keep practicing... I think I'll just practice shapes and angles for the next one. No pink hamsters, though. #13, 7 hours? 8?

I will try this next, thank you for the req! one of my favorite things to do with food is load it up with as many flavors as possible because why not? just like this:

To whom this may concern, These exist. Tried one, not bad~

beaw~ I could only work on this in short bursts because my core is sore and swollen, but also bears. I'll do more and better later hopefully, and with 100% less pharmaceuticals in my head Next up: mustelids, I guess. :E #12, I have no idea.

Holy shit this took forever, but I think it turned out okay! expression practice for two of the guys, Zach and Rhyat. Names may change, plans will not. also my hand aches. Honestly, I think I just wanted a reason to draw that specific poss face :V Bear with me.. #11, I'm not telling how long~

As the battle to figure out how to draw eyes and heads rages on, here's a possum study~ Didn't bother with muscles this time because they seem to be 90% mouth lol Next one I think is going to be really focused on refining shape/expression ... drawing round things is tough. #10, 6ish hours.

Why oh why did I agree to this.. A gazelle study, modeled after a Soemmerring's I was not quite happy with this one, but I was happy that I did that bottom right one by only blocking it out. He's a tired boy~ The next one may poss-ibly be better :9 #9, ?? hours

Kept going with the purrbeasts because I wasn't pleased with the last one... But I *am* kinda pleased with that mystery jag's expression. I liked puzzling it out and maybe I'll do a few of those with each study Next up, something a bit more unfamiliar for this derg 😰 #8, 6-ish hours ??

Another study, this tiem of big cats. Still very sloppy, I gotta work on refining these shapes a bit. Getting muscle refs was a chore >:E Please forgive those goofy ass heads at the bottom lol #7, 6-ish hours?

Starting off with canid studies, these things take a while... I was drawing it by sight so it feels a bit sloppy and the proportions might be off, but i learned some things! Next up is big cats I think 🐆🐅 #6, 6+ hours

To keep myself on track and not lose the plot again, I've created something of an arduous curriculum for what to focus on. The goal is to stick with it no matter what! It's definitely a lot, but I want to prove it to myself. 🧡

As I continue to study and fuck/cheat/fumble around with anatomy, I remembered that I am quite fond of big cats! So I sketched out a smug cougar~ I do wonder: how do anthros get tats done? Perma-dye? Or do they shave the fur down and ink the follicles? A mystery :E #5, 6/14-15

A little motion sketch I just threw together at this gathering. Got some solid critique yesterday and I need to get good w/ anatomy 💯... Soccer made sense :E #4, today

I've never done an expression sheet before and wanted to give it a shot with Rory here! Can you tell what breed he's supposed to be? Definitely going to keep practicing these, drawing faces is tough :E #3, 6/10-12

Finished this guy up today, a baseline to see what needs improvement, what's okay-ish, etc. proportions are... something >:E I think I'm gonna do head studies next, starting with this curious canine. Have you ever gone on a run and when done, realized you missed a few things...? #2, 6/9-10

Rhyat here is my poss character that I made for our DD Beast World game and he's grown on me so much <3 Included are some head sketches from saturday and the char sheet headshot/picto I did back in February He has orange tips now because a new favorite artist posted a similar guy lol.😰 #1 6/7-8

It's my duty as floralderg to remind you all that it's also mother's day weekend! If you haven't ordered bloomz for mom, might suggest you do it real soon! (Here is a chonky lush example that I did earlier...)

I've been a Trek fan since I was a wee lad. It lifted my spirits countless times. That being said, out of all the new shows, shockingly, Academy has given me that feeling again. Hope, optimism, and growth, despite the flaws. Didn't see it coming. And these two are by far my favorite characters. 🥰🖖

It's been something of a journey... ...and I think I finally have it accurate. Only took a few tries! tenpages.github.io/us-level/us....
