I can't believe it has been 21 days since I last posted. On day 3, I actually did practice, but felt discouraged by my results and couldn't bother to continue. And losing my measly 2 day streak caused me to become even more unmotivated and just give up altogether.
Today I finally decided to restart, but didn't know that THIS much time had passed. What the fuck do I even do all day... Surprisingly I did end up practicing a bit, although very inconsistently.
I am now currently using a free program called Medibang since my Photoshop CC trial ended. Despite being free, the program offers great tools with a more simplified and easy to use interface.
Self Critique
Created on Medibang using the Airbrush and Watercolor (Wet) brushes. My favorite thing about this program is easily being able to flip the canvas vertically (simply clicking the down arrow key), which helps with perspective. It's weird how lopsided your drawing really is.
This the first time I've ever tried drawing a semi realistic painting, and I think it's partly thanks to how simplified Medibang's interface is. However I did get lazy and ended up settling for an incomplete head shot, with the hair being cut off. I also had difficulty getting the eyes to look right and ended up copying and pasting the first one for a more symmetrical finish.
