Barely squeaked this out, but it's still Wednesday in my time zone so it counts as on time.

I feel like an awful lot of people are throwing fits because there is stuff in the world that isn't made for them, but for someone else

Let's Close This Loop

You know what this is if you've been watching

So I was thinking about why I am having such trouble arting and it occurred to me that I was doing three 30 day challenges and only completed two of them, so maybe I just need to finish the last one?

Here's where we left off, if you forgot... and here's what I managed to do last week.

Monday was pose drawings. I don't like pose drawings. I avoid them if at all possible. This, of course, is a strong indicator that I should do more of them. I don't care, I don't wanna.
I'm not very good at them.

Did them anyway. Had to be done. When I got to the faces on Tuesday, I did a fairly horrible job...

Of COURSE it's Huong Le, who else would it be.

But I can also see the work improving over the course of doing the faces. The features are starting to approach being in the right places. Then I did my Frankenstein face with features from five sources.
Huong Le's hair on a collage of anime girls.

This, too, was kind of awful... but not actually THAT awful. Which sets me into position to put this head, such as it is, on Sonozaki Mion's body.

She's too wide. The legs are all wrong but idk how to fix them?


I mean, I don't think I did a terrible job. But I had trouble with the bottom half and I never really felt like I ever got it right. Which brought me to the "adding clothes" section.
I... I just don't really care?

Again, I don't think I have done a bad job here, but I'm not happy. This isn't really MY character. I understand that Marc is trying to get me to invest some effort into a character, but the way he wants me to design isn't the way I design, and the resulting design just doesn't feel like it's mine. 

But I did finish. I did get everything done. I have, finally, closed that loop. So let's see if it helps me get back into actually working on stuff of my own again.

More live, no time-lapse drawing. Less of it this time. I really wanted to bail on this like four times because I was so frustrated, but I powered through and tried to fix things.

I did my pose drawings live. Real time. No time lapse. So it's very tedious and boring, exactly as I experienced it
