Drawing has always been my weak spot when it comes to making an artwork. I already know the colors I want to use for the painting. I already know how to blend colors, but without grids or separating my figures into parts, something just always looks… off. So I tried figure drawing for a week.

I subscribed to LoveLifeDrawing on Youtube and checked out their website. They have this month-long drawing challenge in partnership with Croquis cafe. It has been an amazing experience so far. I’m a week in, and I already feel more at ease with drawing.

Sure, I still have a long way to go, but I can see that I’m being more bold with my strokes. As of now, I haven’t seen any massive changes in my drawing skills. I just know that I’m more at ease with using my pencils. My proportions are still a bit off, but I have a lifetime more to improve.

Here are some of the pages from my sketchbook journal. Wish me luck!
