While drawing the last piece, Sasuke's cowboy theme came into my head. I hadn't even listened to the Naruto OST in a while, so no idea where it showed up from.

THE SHAW IS REAL!!!

Idea for a tattoo I'd like to get. No idea when or even if.

[leveste]

A few poses.

Tried getting some environment practice since I noticed line-of-action finally got the section out of beta.

Face doodles

[leveste]

Some practice sketches with no reference. This construction method seems to work best for me for getting the gesture and proportions in one go.

I wanted to do something a bit different from the forest stuff. A bit of a night environment seemed fun.

Who needs drugs when he mind is already weird enough. Also, I'm out of blank pages for this notebook, so it's back to the sketchbook for the next one.

Me: I feel like drawing an old guy smoking a pipe.

Brain: ...and his beard turns into tentacles and there's a worm coming out of his eye and...

[leveste]

I still have some blank pages in this notebook, so I'm gonna decorate the rest. This time, I made weird wolf/rabbit hybrid mask.

[leveste]

I got a pocket notebook and doodled on the first 2 pages, since they were blank. Blue ballpoint pen, but i also liked the b&w scan.

[leveste]

Just gave the Krita's animation function a quick go to get the feel of it. Looking forward to what I'll get to do in here.

[leveste]

Well, it's finally done. I mostly just played around with brushes and some blending modes, but I still have no idea what I was doing. I feel like I didn't properly take advantage of layers(and I had quite a few).

Anyway, enjoy.

It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

WIP just to confirm I haven't dropped the piece already lol. I'm still new to digital, so it took a while until I figured a good way of putting in the colours, but it's lookking promising. I also tend to go black&white, so even getting the colours to be ok will be an achievement for me.

[leveste]

Haven't drawn in a while due to a combination of factors(including laziness), but I'm trying to get back in the groove of things(again). This is only a sketch I made in Krita and I'll hopefully finish the piece soon.
