Fred and George Weasley, as Cartoons 

LOL

Learning how to draw faces looking in different directions, second try. 

 Yesterday I drew the two faces below.  I was unhappy with the fact that their eyes were too high up, so today I redrew them.  I lowered the eyes and eyebrows to line up better with the ears.  I learned how to blend the hair highlights better, and learned how to clip layers to the layers below, which was cool...and I guess how Clip Studio got it's name, lol. 

I used so many layers I got confused for a bit, lol, but it all worked out in the end when I remembered I could put layers in folders to help better organize.  I'm still having fun, and still learning a lot :-).  I'm also still forgetting a lot of what I learn, but I guess with time, practice, and repetition, I'll start to remember more.

Digital Art

 I'm still learning :-)

I'm having fun with Clip Studio Paint Pro, and have been following the built in tutorials. I'm learning a LOT.  I'm just not retaining everything, so every day I have to relearn it.  Bleah, lol. Aging sucks when it affects memory.

Here are some of my most recent sketches, done on Clip studio, using layers (so far I have a paper layer, a sketch layer, a line art layer, and a color layer). 

Practicing "my" character with Clip Studio Paint Pro

More practice with clip studio. 

As I learn, I'm also learning how to sketch. I'm not an artist by any means but I've always loved drawing and arts and crafts in general.  I know these look like something a little kid could draw, but I really want to keep the characters super simple. 

I need to learn how to draw different facial positions, and different poses. I'm having fun though. 

Digital Drawing, Parrot Practice

Searching for a Simple Shape for a Parrot

I've been practicing almost every day and still enjoying myself. 

Simple cartoon style

I'm still learning how to use Clip Studio paint, so I'm keeping my drawing very simple.  I tried to learn a function that lets me edit the lines on the vector layer  Supposedly I can select an area and pinch the lines into whatever shape I'd like.  I couldn't figure that out, but I was able to select a portion of the drawing and change the lines color and style. 

 I wish there was a way to watch the tutorials within the program, but it just brings me to another page so I have to keep switching between pages.  I could watch on my phone but then it's too small to see.  Maybe I should watch the tutorials on my Quest; then they'd be huge, and I'd just have to lift the headset to look at the drawing program, lol.  I'm sure I'll figure it out...I just wish I had a better memory.
