Livia Progression (Patreon)

Just wanted to share the progression of Livia's image over the time of her being within Emi's story. I remember the very first one, and am honestly surprised of how stiff the second one is. Then again, if I recall correctly, this was around the times where I would feel like I was progressing, and then would fall back a bit, only to improve, then fall back, so that could have been the case.

For the recent one I like that it shows more … Emotion? I’ve been working to get the hang of expressions and will be honing more on that and anatomy this month with different parts of the body.

As much as I want to draw detailed elegant clothings, I told myself one thing at a time.

First, Anatomy, Perspective, Form, etc.  Then focus on colors, shadows, highlights, etc. Then add in clothings, accessories, etc.

Backgrounds and landscapes, cities, etc will be final as I work to bring it altogether in proper frames, illustrations, and so forth.

It's good to look back at your beginnings, analyze where you are currently, and then have a game plan for future progressions.

For those who are working on their own crafts whether it's singing, writing, drawing, music, dance, business, etc, as Kate would say: "Be kind to yourself and appreciate how far you've come."

Thanks for reading.
