this may just be a me thing, but if you get wrist pain from drawing digitally maybe try changing ur pressure settings so u don't have to press as hard. granted, i get wrist pain just from using ballpoints too much, so this could be a skill issue on my part- but while i typically get 0 wrist pain from drawing, every other brush i download has the pressure settings so high it makes me hurt within minutes. so, worth looking into if wrist pain is a problem for you

Victor's upbringing, and his parents are... Really something. I'm not familiar with early 19th century social dynamics, and gender roles. But it's like a whipslash to read all of these strict and almost extreme case with the Frankenstein family, while coming from the likes of Dracula, Jekyll and Hyde, and Sherlock Holmes where one can feel modernity breathing through the novel.
"No creature could have more tender parents than mine." Victor, buddy, I agree that your parents cared a great deal for yours and Elizabeth's education, regarding you both with an amazing gift of knowledge, and such... But so far I don't like them a little bit.
Your parents not only want to marry you to your fucking cousin because apparently the decision of "who am I going to romantically spend the rest of my life with" is not yours to do no no, but also your mother has been only educating poor Elizabeth as a bride-to-be. At least Elizabeth found joy in poetry to express her creative view of the world (even if these traits are expected in an early 19th century noble girl.)

figure drawing | a sculpting approach
*
How did I approach this figure drawing session?
Building up from major blocks of color. From there I continue with a touch of shadow to sculpt the blocks into some dimension and add some accents for highlights.
And the rest is just for fun. Nothing gives a figure drawing life like some large brushstrokes and a bit of color play. Let's dance! :)
