Online Encyclopedia that pays you crypto
As one of the many investors who gobbled up new low-cap coins on Binance during those heady days of the alt-coin bull run we’re sorely missing right now, I staggered upon Lunyr. My non-techie research

Since the last post I’ve completed more of the neck and ear. The proportions need work still. I am pleased with the earring.

Another couple of hours progress
I have managed to tidy up her jaw and cheek by smoothing the tone. Also one big aim is to get lots of grey so the whites that still remain are put to better effect. Very excited to see the results. Still

Latest update
I’m one lazy sod so it takes forever to get these updated. Here you can see I’ve started using an HB to get some darker scale on the cheek. I’ll go over that with some harder pencils to blend it better.

Detailed Eye Drawing (2H HB)
Hopefully the most detailed drawing of an eye you’ve ever seen. That was the intention at the outset anyway. Leave a comment and let me know what you think. I started taking drawing seriously last year

Taylor Swift Day 3
My favourite areas to work from on a face are the eyes, nose and lips. If you get those right you can adjust the surroundings accordingly. Still a work in progress.

Taylor Swift Day 2
Still not looking right but I’ve had a long break from drawing so many might take a few more days to get in the zone. I’m using a 2H for these parts. I’ll be using an HB once I need to add some darks.

Here are some frames from my comic
I haven’t posted in a while but just thought I’d upload a frame I did for a comic. You can see it before it was colorized. I use an Ipad for this stuff and I’m still not sure which tool I prefer for coloring.
