And if you're wondering: Nurture is my favourite Porter Robinson album, but I do like all eras. I used to listen to Unison (and the Knife Party Remix) a lot back in the day, and Particle Arts (the Virtual Self song) used to be my most-played song on Spotify for a *long* time. Porter is also the only artist I've seen live (plus his support acts)! I went to his Nurture show in Berlin (with support from James Ivy) and his SMILE! :D tour stop in Hamburg (with support from underscores!!!). The crowd didn't seem to feel underscores' tracks as much as I did, which was a big shame, and I felt a bit awkward going hard just on my own, but I still really enjoyed being able to see her live as well.

## Day 22
<span class="date-marker">2026-02-27, 23:03</span>
Today was another one of those days where I found it super difficult to get started and even lightly considered skipping, but once I did get started, I had immense fun and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I don't know why this is so common with me...

Most days, I come up with my drawing idea only shortly before I actually draw, which has pretty much exclusively been in the evening. Today was no exception. I had the idea of drawing a girl looking at her right cyborg arm with a somewhat shocked and not necessarily cheery expression like a lot of the previous ones I drew. The implication should be that she lost her organic arm and had it replaced with a mechanical part without her knowledge. No, that doesn't [sound familiar at all...](/projects/projectn5/devlog/2024/1127/#the-new-storyline)
I didn't *quite* nail the perspective/orientation I had aimed for, but I think it actually still turned out super cool. Again, I drew this with no direct reference! I looked up some inspirations for the hair, right arm, and track pants (which are clearly Adidas-lookalikes).
I think her outfit is cool. I didn't want to do the same long-sleeve-jeans combo again, and I ultimately wanted to draw this girl to look like a distinctly different person from the previous ones. I picked a sporty outfit, the idea for which I somewhat took from a drawing of mine I drew before I begun my drawing challenge, but after [the sketch that kicked off my drawing arc](/blog/2026/0129/). I didn't exactly re-draw her, like I did with my [day 1 drawing](#day-01), but let's just say I did because that's kinda cool.
The lines marking the collarbones are a very late addition to the drawing, but I really like them as a small extra detail. Kind of shows to me that I'm trying to apply my existing knowledge while also still adding new things, in small steps. She also got an earring, for instance. A simple one, but it adds character.
I also used this drawing to try drawing a hand on a person! And it kind of worked out. It looks a little wonky still, but better than the ones before. I'm also partially blaming the small size at which I drew the hand, so small mistakes have a bigger impact than on a larger hand.
Some other noteworthy things include the hair, where I picked a hairstyle that exposes the forehead. I was inspired by [yesterday's Po-Uta](#day-21--we-ll-see-creation-come-undone), who also had a hairstyle that didn't cover up the forehead. I also added an eyelid line beneath her left eye, which ended up a little *too* thick, but still does its job of portraying the shock in her face. Kind of like she woke up from a coma or hibernation. [Wait...](/projects/projectn5/devlog/2024/1127/#the-new-storyline)
This girl's not meant to be Laura, just so we're clear. I think. I might change my mind on this. In fact, I should give names to the characters I draw. That would be a cute detail.
Oh! I just realised that my manga drawing book has a page on cyborgs! that would have come in handy...
