I got carried away with painting a number of layers on a 50 gsm paper so it wrinkled. ORZ
Anyway, I’m just filling up all the remaining blank and uncoloured pages on my hobo. Scanning old sketches prompted this motivation for me to stay consistent and improve my skills.
And to dabble more with traditional media esp watercolours.
I’m still a huge amateur when it comes to watercolours but using them is very relaxing. ^^
I wanted to post this last night but I was too exhausted I ended up falling asleep at front of my laptop, ORZ.
Anyway,
Some very old OCs of mine created back in High School that I painted on my hobonichi, lol.
I thought of drawing those and other random stuff to fill the many blank pages of my hobo. Unfortunately, I haven’t written/drawn there regularly compared to last year but I didn’t want to keep the planner blank. The main reason with the hobonichi being expensive, lol. I really can’t afford to waste them.
And it does help. I mentioned in my previous blog post that I struggled with not finishing sketches and being very irregular with my sketchbook. I’d end up getting sick of it and buy a new one and repeat the whole process again.
I was drawing heads everywhere. (many of them faceless) I barely went past the neck. Thinking about it now, it was probably because I didn’t know shit about the anatomy after them such as the upper and lower limbs, torso and pelvis so I couldn’t be bothered.
I lacked any knowledge on how they worked so I was merely stuck on heads, haha.
Gods, they were such a cluttered mess that I don’t feel bad throwing so many of them away. I regret the fact that it took years of this same kind of blunder and why it only took me joining the ygo fandom to take drawing seriously. But at the same time, I know that I’m a better artist now. Not as skilled as I want to be . I’m still learning more and always wanting to improve but I know I’m much better than “Only-drawing-heads Millie.”

Who knew being so guilty of buying an expensive planner and making sure I don’t waste a paper of it curbed those bad habits? lol. I’m saving up for another one for next year. 😀
