Thanqol Learns To Draw!

Day 331: Grind #1

I've been putting this off way too long.

I'm starting what I'm terming a 'Grind', a process where I continuously draw and re-draw one specific set of thing until I master it and can draw it without reference. This grind is to master girl's faces. I'm going to just bite the bullet and draw like this until I've got the hang of it. If you're here for the occasional ambitious paints and colour piece, then I'm sorry to disappoint you; everything is on hold until this is mastered.

Basically, I'm sick of not being able to draw female faces, and I'm going to draw female faces in this style until I've damn well got it.

The tracing was actually really helpful. I'm going to buckle up and practise via repetition until I build up muscle memory.
