I gave it another go, and this one seems better. That’s probably because of its roughness, leaving enough room for the imagination, while the drawing is just as cobbled together as what I drew earlier. Still, rougher seems an improvement.

So, I took more time, and it’s only marginally better. I know it’s a difficult subject matter, requiring patience and subtlety. Nevertheless, I assumed I was beyond this skill level. It isn’t bad, nor good, but somewhere in between 😔

If one’s goal is to get better, it’s not enough to claim you suck at it, because that’s true for anyone to some extent, even experts. You should inquire what makes you state that. In this case, I think it’s impatience. I need to slow down, take my time.

Tried how my drawing skills of cute(ish) cats are. Let’s say it’s still a “learning experience.” Not much days left until October 1.

When tracing is used to understand what one sees. The goal is to be able to draw hands from imagination, using photos only to add realism, not to copy. This then becomes stylized instead of a literal copy. Still, there’s always room for artistic liberties, or one could better take a photo instead.

I tried Discord for a while, but I don’t get it. A failure on my part, I know, but that doesn’t make it easier to understand. The help functionality is, as usual, written by experts, without the eyes of a newcomer, IOW, pretty much useless for newbies. I suppose they even included a kitchen sink 😉

I’m still bothered by a false notion that if something takes a lot of time, it should be above and beyond something that took little time. There doesn’t seem to be a correlation, or, at best, a loose correlation. Often the last 10% takes 90% of the time of a project, totally unwarranted, yet true.
