drawing for years and only now taking basics seriously :/

goals = drawing from imagination and getting proficient with art programs!

AI is completely unwelcome in my workflow 🤖🚫

My sketchbook page of a Tuareg Man

The Tuareg people are a traditionally nomadic (now semi-nomadic) ethnic group now living in Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Algeria, and Libya. They speak Tamasheq (a Berber language) and practice Sunni Islam. Check out one of the articles I found about them: https://minorityrights.org/communities/tuareg/

Does anyone have anything to add about the Tuareg? I just learned about this group of people myself :)

@shoshin thank you!! Making things feel like they have real weight/volume is tricky
@lemos this is such an interesting character, it would be awesome to see it in a bigger environment. I already have so many questions.

I joined mastodon/my server yesterday, and y’all have been so welcoming. I’ve never had so many people decide to follow my work in a short period of time. It is very cool, and it’s nice to be online with other humans.

Here are a couple of my recent sketchbook pages. The basics I’m practicing lately are form, perspective, and the human head, which is a concerted effort in both. And a particularly weak point for me 😅

@cmconseils this is so cool, did you get this with a drone?
@aronsilver This cover is so cool. Book cover design seems like a blast, I’ll have to check out your artist! Good luck with your novel release :)
@luciledt thank you!!
@ruben hey I appreciate that! Thank you!
@alipunk Thank you!! It is already so much better than any experience I’ve had elsewhere. It’s a relief just to know that people are more than likely real people haha
