 She also encouraged me to try figure drawing; using nude(ish) human bodies as drawing references to learn anatomy and things like body flow. I may try that soon, because I definitely find myself struggling to draw characters in poses.
 
 To comment a bit on the drawings: the heads look weird, I think I'll practice them a little more tomorrow, maybe. The body went in a decent direction but the hips look like they're pointed in the opposite way than I intended. For the big hand, I used my own left hand as a reference, but with the details it started to look kind of witch-like. The smaller hand I drew right after looks a little cuter. The legs up top, which actually were the first thing I drew today, look okay. I like the curvature in the right foot.

+I found the small notebook and went for ballpoint pen sketches today.
+
+Patrick was the first drawing today, completely separate from all the other stuff too. I kind of just drew him to show some people at university as an IRL reaction sticker. Still wanted to include him here.

On the right are some heads, one of which mimicking the look of the musician Jaron on the cover of his album LIGHTYEARS. A hand and two attempts at drawing crossed legs are also depicted."

+I looked at some people on the bus today (shocker, I know) and one person on my way back home from uni made me realise that I had kind of fucked up ear placement, neck flow, and head shape for a while. From a 45-degree angle, the ear is fully visible but it's still mostly within the head silhouette. I then drew the drawing in the top left to try this out, and it did look more natural. I think the head turned out a little too narrow, but quite decent still.
+
+Although I just looked at myself in the mirror and what I just wrote wasn't exactly what I'd seen so I'm not entirely sure.
+
+As I was listening to *LIGHTYEARS* by Jaron, I stared at Jaron's face on the album cover when I decided I could try to draw him. **HIM??**
+
+yeah i drew a guy for the first time. 7 days in.
+
+The first try went pretty goblin with a massively oversized ear, so I tried again, and it's definitely recognisable, I'd say. I found it interesting how his head is drawn with way straighter lines than all the girls I had drawn up to now, where all shapes are much more curvy and wavy. Just look at his neck; it's so straight and thick compared to, say, the head in the top left.
+
+I also tried drawing his right hand fully – as in, not obscured by his head – and it went eeeehhh
+
+Lastly, I attempted to draw crossed legs from a front perspective. Turns out, I really didn't know what I was doing lol. Trying to figure out where the legs go, where and how they cross, and how they connect to the body is a challenge, and I was doing it with no reference! Probably a mistake.
