it looks like i don't draw on the opposite page but i swear i do... i tend to use them as scratch paper after i've taken pictures, and i even put a blank paper behind the page i'm taking a picture of so that you can't see the drawing behind it bwaaaah
i love preppy and oversized/baggy fashion the most. sweaters, suits, collars, pleated skirts, angles... it's my favorite and it's always been my favorite since i was a kid playing fashion games... i think i'm just drawn to the symmetry or something...
i don't know how to take better pictures when it's pitch dark outside 😔
ayy!! 🫳
HAHAHA thank you!!!!
ahh breaking it down... the thing is, these poses are all actual poses from iconic works of (classical?) art so instead of referencing for fanart i just wanted to use it to study 🥹
i gave him a sailor hat this time... i'm a little obsessed 😭
omg saka what am i gonna dooo 😭😭🫶
sakaaa i'm truly honored 😭👍
i listened to these songs while drawing just now. spotify made this playlist for me and i really love it 😭🙏

anyways... it's not really perfection, my lines are messy, but i kinda really like drawing this way. maybe it's good to have a mixture of slow and accurate versus fast and fluid? i'll try it next time perhaps 🤔 hahah it's good to draw again
3. i draw better when i'm mindless, not thinking of something else
4. it seems like things go a lot more smoothly and less confusing when i focus on the silhouette first
5. confidence even if i mess up, i'm just going to redraw the correct line again
today felt like freedom, it went so much more smoothly! i'm shocked i could finish the pose in 5 mins again!
1. i turned on my favorite music!! (did that make all the difference?)
2. held the pen differently, a lot less tilted (i usually do this when i'm trying to draw more fluidly)
😳😳😳
i love the way it looks so clean, it feels like you really captured the main ideas and essence of the background especially in such a short amount of time 🥺😭🤍 i love it!!!

i finally unlocked the (expensive) red sweater in lofi.town but there's still more to unlock 🙏
i'm afraid i bought this really expensive book a while back because i wanted to study poses, but i'm not sure what exactly i should do to practice with it... any ideas? i'm completely at a loss. i could copy it directly, break it into shapes? make gestures only? spend 10 minutes to 2 hours...? 😵💫
based on what the internet says, i don't think i'm going to be really good at drawing for another 5 years... this stuff takes time 😭
my friend invited me to round1 and we're going tonight... you know how happy this makes me 😭
hang in there mika, you must have been working too hard lately!!
WAHH thank you ama, i don't know if i'll ever try drawing backgrounds... i hope i would be...! 🥹🤍🤍
🐶🤍
waaaah! don't be sorryl!! this is so exciting to know!!! i didn't realize that you were new to these kind of "practice" things as well! i've also never done a background practice or study before because it seems really difficult... i'm just really amazed and inspired by you 🤯 this is really nice! 🤩💛
AMA?!?! IN 45 MINUTES!! that's amazing.!! your painting skill is impeccable... it looks so incredibly accurate?!!!?!! have you done these often..?!

예전에 로이드 그림체 그린 거 찾음
that's how i feel 😭🙏 we might never escape that emotion 😭😭
thank you so much!! i look forward to the day my voice sounds normal again... slowly but surely! i'm also trying to do better- some much-needed grocery shopping tomorrow afternoon 😭🙏
yeah...! i remember those days of social distancing while i was still a student... my coworkers (in the ICU) have told me about the horrors of COVID... very tough 😔
