Sketchbook Saturday #4

 Hello there, fellow Wombatants! Amalia here, and welcome to another Sketchbook Saturday!

I'll be honest with ya: We kinda struggled, this week. Every time we sat down to draw something, it ended up looking..... less than ideal.

And this brought us to a bit of a realization:

We suck at drawing!😜

But that's fine, because we got into it to learn and improve, and so we are. However, this week's struggle suggested to us that we're perhaps trying to be a bit too advanced, too early on.

So we've decided to do something easy, but still decently good for practice. A couple of tracings:

So up above, it's a fairly basic front-facing image of myself, while down below it's a Land Rover (or well, just the chassis, so far). The idea is that we'll spend some more time tracing, and then working out how to refine individual parts. You can see we already did some fancification with my nose and mouth, for instance.

The goal is to eventually turn both of these into fully coloured, shaded images. And we'll use every opportunity to study and improve along the way.

...... assuming we don't melt in this current heatwave first.😉

So you'll be seeing these two again, but with more additions each time! Until then, stay safe, try not to let the sun destroy you and have a good one!
