i drew a few things today, the first one (which is actually the last one but its my most 'finished' sketch of the day) is a redraw from 5 years ago kind of? i just drew yelena from aot again and what i got from it is that i didnt really improve that much fundamentally? esp looking at some of my other art from the past but i think that's okay because: i think that what i DID improve with is not caring about everything being Highly Detailed And Perfect and having breakdowns every other hour about not being able to draw or paint or whatever to the standard of master artists despite drawing for like 10 years and now whenever i draw i have the ability to just say 'alright it's not the best, but i see issues that i can learn from and i'll apply it next time' instead of working myself into a multi-year burn out. so i think this is a huge win, especially because the redraw itself only took 28 minutes whereas if i had tried to draw that same pose back in 2019 (which wouldn't have happened because i refused to be extremely ambitious back then out of fear but) it would have taken me more like 28 hours and i would have learned nothing

anyway the next two are 'challenges' that i drew alongside watching others do similar challenges on a yt video where they all have cursed brushes or cant undo etc. and i only gave myself the amount of time as they had, which was about 15-20 minutes (in terms of the video length itself which i think was cut down from the amount of time they actually had) the first one was no undo / erasing and trying to limit how much i reshaped it by painting over it and the second one was with a mouse and without a sketch 😭 they're not the best ofc but i thought they were a fun experiment to mess with
