Practicing Despair (and Feeling It Too)

Today’s sketch theme was “despair.” Couldn’t get it right—side profiles are tough! But hey, I kept trying.

Practicing Despair (and Feeling It Too)
Today’s practice went so badly I ended up stacking one despairing figure on top of another… and then despaired at my own drawing.

Today’s drawing practice continued with limp body poses—this time focusing on people in despair. But I couldn’t draw them well at all, and ended up feeling despair myself.

First of all, side profiles! I almost never draw faces from the side, so I really struggled. Still, I kept at it and practiced again and again. Proud of myself for not giving up! That’s enough for today. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll improve, even just a little.
