So here is another day that I went through the process. Thanks to the discord community I spend more hours doodling compared to before! This was another day that I tried to understand what method for studying the planes of the head is right for me. I didn't reach a conclusion, I'm not even sure I need one. Anyway, I did some study of planes and shading, some gestures, and finally did some doodling.
I tried working with a thin unforgiving "technical pen" brush to practice line confidence since lately I've been very loose (which I like but at the same time makes me worry). I am very satisfied, that despite the wobbly and ugly lines, the posture is there, and even the proportions are there! There were some doodles where I applied foreshortening and looked absolutely fine, but the highlight of the day was the olives man. It started as a random doodle, then I drew a trenchcoat with shades and a suspended leg and it was read. Overall very satisfied with it! Perhaps a little confusing lines at the tummy where there are some strange folds that in retropection only add confusion but next time! I like also how the brush by accident wasn't 100% opaque and as a result, There was space for creating "extra black" strokes, just like with my pentel.
Outside the daily practice I struggle. I'm feeling constantly despair and hopelessness about my life in general but also my artistic evolution (I don't see an end to it, and I don't see making anything out of it) which is a thought and not something based on actual facts (I'm not 99 years old, and I'm not dying) but nonetheless it's so strong that it's affecting me royally.
that's all for now
