It's just that while erasi Also: while I do have other coloured pencils, I only have the one fancy green colour pencil, so that's the only colour I'm currently using. I would like to use more colour to spice up these drawings. However, I do like the side effect of all my characters having bright green eyes. Kinda neat. -Can I just say... it's *so cool* that, two and a half weeks into this challenge, I can already draw characters like this. Never in my life did I expect I would be able to draw like this. I never really was able to go beyond stick figures and unshapely humanoid-ish characters, although I guess I didn't try very hard.

It's derivative because I pretty much ended up drawing yesterday's girl again, but it's original because I put her in a completely different pose and did that without a direct reference! + +I'm pretty happy with this. It's a bit odd that her trousers look so detailed compared to her shirt, but I think that's kind of in the nature of that type of clothing. The shirt is basic, but jeans are inherently more complex, given their stitching. I took a photo of the trousers I'm wearing right now to use as reference for those details, and I think it turned out not half bad. + +Also, hands. They're so difficult to pose. I initally wanted her to sort of wrap her left hand around her thigh, but after a couple of tries, I gave up completely because I could not draw a shapely hand for the life of me. In fact, I ended up skipping the hands entirely today. Definitely something I'll have to revisit. + +I also realise now that her head looks pretty much exactly 90 degrees turned around, which is unnatural. In retrospect, I should have erased some of the jaw line at the very least. Oh well! + +To be honest, half the reason I didn't finish this today was because I still have other stuff to do, and it's getting late, lol. But there's also no point obsessing over details, especially when I barely know how to draw these details. In the coming days, I should try to do more to learn those.
