After half a century and many half-hearted attempts through the pandemic, I’m finally focusing on the basics of drawing in 2023. Here we go.

A fun exercise after a very rough week. Looking forward to play around more this weekend.

Red line print, 2B pencil trace, The hierarchy exercise felt more natural to me than the light and shadow.
Paul
Sensing that the “dot” exercise is my biggest opportunity for a warmup going forward. More to come.

Done digitally with a sketchy lead pencil-like brush. Tried to stay loose and "find the lines". The hand really gave me trouble, was not able to "connect" to it. The penguin and VR girl felt more familiar. I like the face the penguin got, a real attitude.

Yeah, that’s some big “realistic Pingu” energy from that bird.

Honestly felt more comfortable with the hand and penguin. Drawn in Procreate, will attempt in sketch book later.

That penguin is majestic. Looks like it just won an award.

Trying valiantly to get looser in my sketching. It’s feeling a liiiiiiittle bit looser. I’ll keep going.
