I did a 10-day challenge of art studies of mammals.
They’re all drawn from reference pictures I took. You can see the photos and notes I made along the way here. I’ve also linked the relevant posts to each picture.
Here is my note from “day 11”:
Drawing a human being was interesting and encouraging, because I immediately felt like I knew what I was doing again.
I did a series of studies like this for humans, way back in 2017 or so, and I remember how hard it was. Drawing the other mammals felt about that hard (or maybe a bit less), and drawing people feels relatively familiar now (if time consuming).
So studies do help! Yay.
