For the most part, I was just testing thing without sticking to just faces. Most importantly perhaps: no perfectionism! I didn't use my eraser *once!* The focus was on trying more rather than perfecting one single drawing. It did work to my benefit, in a way; I drew bodies, heads, even hands.
I talked to a friend of mine earlier today about drawing. Thing is, she's a pro at it. She's been donig it for ages, she's studying art too, and she does insanely cool paintings. She did give me quite a few tips when we talked, but I did notice that a bit of it was way above my level. At one point, she started sketching a realistic eye, telling me about minute details like the positioning of eyelashes, and while I didn't see a direct connection between her advice and my drawings, I listened and watched in awe as she drew a really good-looking eye from what I assume is just experience and possibly my eyes as a partial reference.

We also talked about perfectionism and how it can be beneficial to draw without erasing constantly – like how I drew [my drawing from two weeks ago](/blog/2026/0129/) using a ballpoint pen instead of a pencil. No going back using that. I did intend to use a gel pen today, but I kind of shied away from it for now. Thinking about it now, a ballpoint pen may be better actually, because it draws finer and less bold lines.

Went pretty well! No idea what I'll do tomorrow, but it's going well. If I'm really daring, I'll do another character (that'll hopefully take less time...) and try to add some cool hands. Jazz hands would be funny ngl
Oh a bit of a tangent: I do have to say that I felt a little down today. There were a lot of good things today: I'm virtually sickness-free, I wore a cool new outfit and felt very gen-Z-internety in it so I listened to I Love My Computer by Ninajirachi on the bus and felt even more in my element, and the weather was super nice today as well. I even met up with friends!
But I wanted to show one of my friends, the artsy one, my drawings today. I don't see her super often so I wanted to use the chance. I was actually really excited to do so because obviously I've put quite a lot of time into these drawings and I'm quite proud of especially what I've managed to accomplish in this short time, and I like sharing that. But she wanted me to show them off while we were busy doing something else entirely, to which I told her something along the lines of *"I'll show you when we have the time for it"* because I wanted to take my time with that rather than rush through the sketches. I ended up not being able to show her my drawings, but she still gave me the advice to *study anatomy*.
That felt pretty discouraging. She hadn't even seen my drawings, doesn't know what or how I am drawing, and gave me pretty boilerplate advice as a result. I guess it's not too dramatic, but it still didn't feel great.
But I'm fine now. In fact, I just looked at my drawing from [two days ago](#day-18) again, and that made me feel really good. I'm *so happy* about that drawing in particular and my progress in general. *I created these drawings!!* How cool is that?? AI images could never evoke the joy in me that I am feeling when I look at my sketches.
