I started drawing during COVID-19 as I was off work and wanted to pass time. I soon realised that 12 hour World of Warcraft sessions were probably not healthy and I craved creativity!
So I figured why not try drawing? Other than the odd doodle while on the phone I had not drawn or studied art since I was a child.
At the time I bought a drawing book and started. Focusing on fundamentals I soon got bored and started copying shit I found on Pinterest. It was fun but after lock down life got in the way. Getting divorced and leaving the military, drawing took a way side.
However my life is so much settled now and I am so happy! I have missed art so I AM BACK BABY!
What can you expect from this site? Well at the moment its more of a way of me measuring my progress in drawing. A journal of me starting at the beginning again. While at the same time expressing myself in writing and critiquing my own illustrations.
Starting again I have been a bit lost WHAT DO I FOCUS ON. Well I really wanted to learn more about anatomy this time round. I went to a local art store in search of a mannequin figure, thinking this would be the anwser to my solution. The kind lady advised these are kind of dated and don’t show motion of the body well. She suggested maybe I try manga!
Now my relationship with manga / anime has been spotted in the past. I am not a massive anime fan I have liked a few series in my time however. Sword Art Online will always hold a place in my heart. The only manga I have is One Punch Man and Berserk which are awesome and I will be studying these quite a bit!
Soo this is where I am starting my journey on this blog, I will be trying manga! But also I will be drawing realism too.
That’s the lore to this point, come by later and check in on my progress!
