    Thank you Torrilin!
    I tried to take your advice to heart and fought my way up to working bigger over the past week-ish @v@;;
    which did include in part going back to digital (... pardon the rust though, hadn't touched the ol' tablet much over the past year, and especially not much since starting these art studies) -- the digital pictures were drawn much bigger than they are in the linked pics, given their own canvas space and room to breathe (: then I shrank n compiled em together~

    anyway;;

    Mmmn. Trying to draw bigger is a harder habit to ease into than I anticipated, it keeps creeping smaller haha. I'll see what i can manage for this next week. In any case... blergh. Some stuff I like about this past week, and some stuff I'm really bleh about... Feels like I've been floundering about in a lot of hesitation;;

    That aside, it's been a month straight since I've gotten back into drawing \o/ on to the next!

    @madammallow ~ thank you! I've been trying these past couple days to have a second look at certain poses that feel like they could have been pushed more and giving them a second shot... it's still so difficult to think, 'no, no, you can change this! you don't have to draw it exactly as you see it!' But trying to consciously push more poses will prove a useful exercise, methinks ovo~! (I may have to give a brush pen a shot once I've got more disposable income too~ we'll see! experimenting is fun)

    @line ~ Thanks! I had/have no idea what counted as practising effectively, but I knew i wanted to try and switch things up more frequently than not s: and size is definitely a part of that! A good point. I struggle to give the figures room to breathe - I'll try and keep a better on that in the future. (I think... part of that is I'm cheap and want to conserve paper but really it's a cheap newsprint book I got on sale so I'm sure I can afford a bit more space ahahah). I'll see about more visible sizes for potential future crits~

    Aaaand a new batch for Sep 15 - Sep19 ;; started using pen today and yesterday and it's felt refreshing and fun~

    The 15th-17th were, on the other hand, increasingly frustrating. It feels like I'm focusing by far too much on negative space and the relation between where things are, whereas I wanna learn more how the shapes work and connect,,, hrm. anyway, just some musing aloud~ Onward!

    I haven't drawn anywhere near as much as I'd like to these past few years.

    I want to change that!

    I'd love to grasp a better understanding of constructing with shapes (whether that be humans, animals, or otherwise), and I'd love for my work to feel less stiff. And so... here we go!
