Even though the gathering didn't happen today, I still wanted to draw something. (It was already a month ago since I last drew something and I feel deeply ashamed about that...)

So, here it it! The back of an elbow joint.

At the end of the drawing, I decided to go over the outermost lines of the bones, but I don't know it this was a good decision. Also, I don't really like the shading (like a draw too much lines and there is not enough contrast). Any tips to improve that?

I was thinking of doing the hangout in a couple of hours, if youre still around for that. ouo I've been in school all day long, just came back home for like an hour and I already need to leave again. :'D

I dont see anything wrong with it honestly? It's kind of hard to achieve something from normal pens if you're not used to shading with it. If you want to improve on the shading, I think it would've been easier on you to do these kind of studies in pencil.
If you want, where the light meets the dark on the shading, make a single line a bit darker. That's what we call the terminator.
If you notice in the sphere, you can probably see what I'm talking about. The color goes from light, to kind of dark, to really dark, to kind of dark again, and then to a bit lighter. You can only properly shade these kind of things if you study the shading fundamentals on primitives, like spheres, cones, cubes, etc etc.

Seems good to me and oh o.o that would totally help with shading.

Thank you!
And good advice! I'll make sure to try it out as soon as possible.
I do have to work on shading, but I think I'll keep drawing the bones with pen (I really like that I can't erase anything). I hope your next improvement challenge comes soon, Mari, so I can work on it with pencil.
Unfortunately, I can't stay any longer. I hope this will work out better for me next time.

I already recorded some of the critiques, finally. Im gonna post the results later tonight. ♥ I had to turn in most of my stuff yesterday and today so as soon as I get home, nothing can get me out of bed until next Thursday. Which is when I have my next class. :'D
I can show you more about shading in the hangout, if you want. There's things about reflected light and cast shadows that can jumble up your brains if you don't quite know what's going on.

I'm currently working on a picture for a friend. Just trying to overcome my laziness and tendency to procrastinate...

I've also been doing some Undertale doodles. Might get a picture of them at some point.

A pic for a Secret santa tread

// looks through my folder
Wow I've done almost nothing OTL

Well for what I did do, I made this
and that image made me realize how little I used dark shades in my art. So I reshaded my self portrait so it now looks like this but I still need to add some more shade/highlights and my freckles.

I've been rather busy, art wise, so far this year. Instead of listing things one by one, I took a screenshot of most of the art and designs I've already done so far.

Prntscr.com screenshot

There's base work (on my personal base, lol) lots of MLP stuff, Some colored sketches, a commission, and a few pieces that I actually worked rather hard on.

The three that I'm most proud of, though, are the chibi humans on the bottom right (I don't usually draw humans, lol), the dragon on the bottom right (spent lots of time on it), and the design on the bottom left (though it's partially cut off. in the screenshot)

I've made quite a few little art drawings here and there from the thread I've got going on, but aside from that, I've been super lazy at drawing.
Kinda getting a little overwhelmed with drawing again, so now the motivation just isn't there :x
& tbh, I kinda got obsessed with playing the long dark again .-.


this ones' probably the one I'm most proud of atm, I hate drawing zorua/ark so much, but somehow managed to make this bby for someone .-.

Non-pokemon related, theres this one I'm really proud of, especially since its' my first portrait-like drawing I've done in years
