episode ?? of alvita attempts to art: three years apart edition

should I be playing catchup to the maratimes challenge? yes. am I doing it tho? no (just like all my schoolwork someone pls force me out of this lazy hellhole-

but uh yeah. this is supposed to be my sandman oc Aphrodite, yet as you can see clearly it’s more like a vapid paper doll with vaguely similar motifs than anything, maybe next time I’ll be able to capture some part of her fc Gemma lol, I am so sorry Aphrodite you deserve better :’))

that being said, I’m pretty surprised that my art changed that much, second half of 2024 was pretty much a creative desert bc of college exams (pray for me I am in FEAR), 2023 and early ‘24 I have no memory of, so I am in shock that I managed to pull together some semblance of front view shoes lmao, it’s probably bc I watched a tutorial I can’t recall anymore and retained some info tbh. also, her head looks better, it looks to be too big tho, didn’t realize that until I finished working out how arms work and at that point I was too Done™️ to redo it. fun story! my friend is also learning how to draw and she saw me sketching out the head and went why tf would you draw it like that?? and showed me the proper (?? I think it is bc a lot of timelapses do it too) way to do it and I used the technique in the 2025 pic, it feels wonky to me tho so I gotta practice more

and that’s basically it! school started last wednesday and I was stressed every single day so I drew a lot, might share them later idk. I should set a reminder for 2028 so we can see if there’s any improvement then lol
