art update: so far on my #lovelifedrawing art learning track, it was not time to choose my favorite materials and develop my personal style. Everything pencil and styleless while I learn the basics. Now it is time. The fun part.

So i had this theory that to draw in a graphic style with only black lines and solids - it looks simple but because there's so little information every edge has to be perfect. I thought you have to learn to do fully shaded (for example charcoal) drawings first, understand 3d shapes and lighting, and then implicitly binarize it down.
The people at #lovelifedrawing think the opposite, they have you drawing in binarized a lot before you're "allowed" fully shaded.

Practice #portrait s that suddenly look good because ink. Photo reference from #lovelifedrawing
Also because i'm "allowed" to do complete portraits now on the curriculum.
While everyone is getting lectured to observe and measure more, i already do too much of that, personally i work on doing less measuring and copying and more 3d constructing. These look better because i banned measuring angles.

#lovelifedrawing reference of the month (from photo) - let's call that a first study - good ideas but you can't see them very well - how come stuff never looks good when I try to use conté? Especially never got white highlights on toned paper to work.

Started #lovelifedrawing actual figure drawing classes and this is my initial skill level. Imagine how much better I'll draw after a few months of classes.
