Wish me a luck for 2017's finale

Posted 6 years, 4 months ago by Ledokol

          What 'finale' you might ask? It's been somewhat my own tradition to do the year xxxx art summary to review what I have drawn in an entire year. And for 2017, it looks like this up til now:

          And the main problem is, it's already the last ten days of 2017 and for December, I've not yet drawn anything. The main trouble is from the four tips to hospital in less than three weeks time because of ear infection. And for someone with Asperger's and inevitably also suffer from sensory overload, the equipment that doctor used was the worst because its noise made my anxiety skyrocketed (seriously, the sensory overload was too much, I almost blacked out in the first two times I got this kind of treatment). Therefore, this month my stress level has been unbelievable and it obviously affects my motivation to draw. After the last appointment yesterday, I won't have to return to the hospital again until January 4th.   

          I'm trying to catch up and at least finish something so I can add into the last space for the yearly art template. It'd be seriously disappointing if I have filled all other months only to miss out the very last month.

          It's Kulakov who urgently needs a new avatar because I only ever drawn him once back in July 2016.   Also it'll be interesting to draw him without the cap. As for the figure next to him with only bare anatomy outline sketch, that's another Fregat android who also needs a new avatar badly. You may have already seen the name Vinogradov before in Yurka and Boryushka's profiles. I could have uploaded him earlier but I just...want to give him a decent new art for the avatar first.

          Here you can see how sloppy I work with sketches. My brain is easily overloaded and gets confused if I used just one color to sketch everything; later I won't be able to tell which line is the clothing or anatomy outline or something else. Hence I have to use several colors to do the sketching separately for anatomy outline, clothing, hair and additional parts. Another thing is, while I do sketch before inking, I never sketch facial features but draw them right out during the inking process. This explains why Kulakov has his facial features drawn before anything else because I need them to use as a measurement of where the hairline should locate.

           I pray that I won't lose the motivation again before finishing this drawing. Vinogradov's profile could be uploaded once this piece is complete.
