More sketchbook practice. I am TERRIBLE at drawing women/feminine coded characters. So I saved a bunch of photos on my phone from artists who make it look easy. Gonna try to do more, quick studies, like this. Originally working from a Black Widow piece by Dike Ruan - ThreadSky

You're doing great work! I used to never draw women, and oddly, a famous relative of someone I knew pointed it out while looking through my portfolio at a convention years and years ago. So I really committed to working on it.

Thanks, Evan! It's glaringly obvious if you look through all my portfolios. It's something I've always shied away from because it didn't come naturally to me. I do ok if I have plenty of reference to work from. Just need to work up that visual memory, so I can be less reliant

You've got this! I'm hoping this means we get to see some Tronne Bonne in your style! That would rule!

Funny you bring that up! I tried drawing her for my last round of Rocktobers. I wasn't happy with any of the sketches

Aw man, I hope you try again!
