Drawing 100 portraits:
1-48
49-93
94-101
(trying out hands and poses with hands now and wow these are hard let's get those reps 😩💪)
Redrew the 1st portrait I did for #106 😀
100-111

(105 might be my favourite one so far 😍)
Started playing around with gesture drawing, and trying to capture the flow/motion of a pose

Took a day to study and play around with the basics, then tried a timed exercise (draw the pose in 1 min, 2 mins, 5 mins, 10 mins)
112-125. Genuinely excited about my progress in the anime department ☺️

(compared to my first attempts at 61-69)
Gesture drawing practice again! (and 1st time live with #inacademy)

Forgot to think about the line of action until like 2/3 through 😅 something to remember for next time
126-135

mainly hololive (s/o @vyolfers) and chika
136-138

Plus a perspective exercise (s/o @kuzomari, vid: )
#139-144
#145-162
Realizing I should probably start only drawing on one side of the sketchbook now instead of both... I'm doing a lot more shading now and the pages are smudging against each other a bit ☹️
#167-178, Iron Man and Ironheart
#179, 182-183, 186, 187, more Hololive
