Sunday Sketches - Building my Skills (Patreon)

As an artist, you build a mental library of things you like to draw. This is how I recall visuals and draw from imagination. You have a mental template of certain poses, facial expression, art styles, etc... You should always be updating this mental library to evolve but I stopped evolving this in my late 20's. Got married and neglected my art for years. For the most part, I've been using the same mental library ever since my 20's, not good. So I spent some extra time recently trying to burn into mah brain some new poses. The foot foreshortening perspective is especially challenging and something I normally would avoid, but now I have it as a new pose! Really happy with the first few sketches in this post. Gonna make this a habit at least once a week, I think weekends should be my sketch an idea phase from now on. It really fuels my creativity during the week on the game projects.Had fun using grayscale to do basic value changes. Got some interesting character ideas from this exercise too! We'll see which one sticks.
