Repeating My Weak Spots, Over and Over

Still stuck on limp-body sketches—but I believe in practicing the hard stuff again and again until it clicks.

Repeating My Weak Spots, Over and Over
Part of me wants to move on to the next lesson, but my inner demon teacher keeps yelling “Not good enough yet!”—so here I am, still drawing limp people.

I spent a good chunk of time today once again practicing limp-body drawings. My rule is: if I’m bad at something, I just keep repeating it over and over.

It reminds me of when I learned piano as a kid. I struggled with certain finger movements, but by practicing them again and again in different patterns every day, I eventually got better.

So I figure drawing must be the same. If I keep repeating the poses I’m weak at, maybe one day my pencil will finally move with real confidence!
