Day 55: Voided cause me dumb
am really proud of your progress.
keep it up!
Day 56: Birthday
Took a small break today to celebrate by crying in bed for most the day. Will hopefully get back to Valerie drawings after. 364 days left.
wait it’s your birthday ?
Day 58: tried to make something cool. failed.
Did a sketch, didn’t like it, realized I didn’t have time to remake it.
Supposed to be a second person but the angle make it look really dumb.
Oh yeah used quest5’s magic circle
reminder for next time: don’t do hard angles or it’ll look dumb. practice more fullbody until comfortable instead.
indeed lmao, tried making one from above view and end up making the character looks short af
Day 59: Something edgy
Used a reference. Saw a meme format by SrGrafo, thought it’d be cool to draw that. Didn’t turn out that well, can’t do colors or his comic style that well.
Might be slightly morbid but for some reason i just imagine this scenario whenever i slaughter the local bandit/mc camp
yee. didn’t spend much time on the bottom half or background colors lol.

This whole art journey thing would’ve been nice… if you weren’t tracing
You mean you traced
You mean you want to trace heads
n o
You are become tracing, stealer of arts
(I could find more, but I’m way too lazy for that, find out for yourself here https://www.reddit.com/r/chloe)
Caught lacking, see you in the shadow realm Jimbo
btw, if you’re gonna go with the excuse “I only used it as a reference”, you never gave credit to the original artist
Have to agree with this ones, Using references is absolutely fine, everyone use, i use it alot too. It just that you pretty much trace it instead of using it as learning material.
Most obvious ones are this art where you just trace it from the anatomy-cloth-face-and almost hair.
I Also uses alot of references (Like seriously without them i can’t even draw a proportionally correct body) But i never directly trace them atmost i only trace the hard angle part like head or hand.
The thing is you are also in an artist discord, you can post your art there and ask for feedbacks or help, we are more then willing to help.
As far as i know you don’t really post there.
(I’m referring to the artist btw, not the person im replying too)
damn…
yep
Ah yea, gotta admit that is pretty true, I’ma withdraw everything that I remember is traced, but there’s still some original pieces. I’m going to try to do better, art-wise and as a person, and give credit where credit is due. Sorry for tracing, thanks for pointing it out, and good day.
edit: Gonna have to wait a bit, forums isn’t letting me delete anything else for 24 hours
edit 2: nvm can edit them to the void
edit 3: actually i think i’m just gonna void everything with references in them cause at this point i’ve fooled myself into thinking i can actually draw and don’t know the difference between tracing and references anymore
oof, don’t be too hard on yourself.
Im not an artist personally but I thinks it’s best if you just try to copy the drawing using your own skills. This should allow you to improve though it may be hard. Also give credit to be on the safe side.
On second look yeah, everything feels off, and give “traced” vibes, such as the line work.
got it, thanks.
Day 61:
Thanks @Yoruh for pointing out the tracing, I don’t think I’d have been able to stop if you didn’t.
I’ll post a timelapse for tomorrows work just so people can check if they’re actually traced and see the process. Thought of that idea today halfway through drawing.
Reference used here was made in EasyPose, it’s one of the presets in there for the female model.
Here it is:
Got some feedback from the artist hub this time, lineart was already finished by then tho so big sad.
pog of you to take it so well, i’ve seen others really fuck themselves over about stuff like this. and tracing is chill if you credit the reference (by tracing i mean “eye tracing” wherein you look at a ref and recreate it)
