im not super good at drawing, i know a lot of technical stuff but my choices when drawing rarely lead me to the life and story i want out of my work. i want to try to focus less on painting and technical stuff and more on drawing going forward on the patreon, not trying to get super clean drawings but trying to get more life out of my work while retaining the appeal it currently has and then maybe cleaning it up a bit. this sounds like it would be easier but in my experience getting life out of a drawing is like pulling blood from a stone and the cleaner something gets the less life it tends to have. out of these sketches i think the only one that really has some life to it is the top middle and its the one i arrived at by just scribbling around and pulling something out of the lines instead of going in with an intention. the one right below it is decent too. the rest arent bad drawings mind you, just i dunno, they dont have that extra bit to them.
this isnt to say i want to stop painting, and the nsfw piece will still probably always be painted, just that i dont know if i want that to be my main direction anymore. dunno, still thinking about all of it. let me know what yall think and thanks so much for the continued support!

thanks and i agree, i have found when i do pen and ink and when i just actively focus on restricting myself from using undo it takes a bit but i end up with way better drawings. good call, ill do it with the next group

Going from drawing to painting I had the same exact issue. With drawing I think the livelyness comes from confidence in your lines as your putting them on the paper. Best way I found to practice this is working with pen and paper, no undo and you can't erase (and the key thing is to not really worry about the quality). Great drawings, you'll get where you want to be with some persistence.

Nothing wrong with experimenting and learning new styles. Your painterly stuff is super fun and great of course but eager to see what you develope your sketcherly style!
