Hi hi all! I'm on a bit of a journey to teach myself how to draw! I have pretty bad wrist and joint pain, so about three years ago I gave myself a challenge to draw one character from a project a friend and I work on every month. I've been improving very slowly, but if you'd like to join me on the journey, here's where you can see my attempts so far!
I also sometimes do quick doodles or, when I have a month where my hand pain isn't so bad, sometimes draw other things than the same four men.

Will update as I go through the year. Thanks for looking at Akito (redhead), Junji (grey hair), Achilles (blond man [derogatory]), and Meilyr (eye stitches).

uughhhhhhhhhHHHHH These poses!! Damn it's genuinely so wonderful to see these all together because the development youve demonstrated over time and since previous years is absolutely gobsmacking. This is so clean!!
Challenging yourself to different poses and angles and doing the referencing is really paying off. And I just really enjoy the clean look of them all together like this, really lovely and cohesive even with the visible developments and different challenges you've taken on.
New one looks fantastic too, feels very focused and a really nice mirror to Meilyr's pose last month!

@snixxx Thank you so much! I also like men with swords and want to draw more of them. Not every month, though!

June has come and went! I bring to you a pride pic.

A full pic + two scribbles
Achilles and Akito repping the hanky code! I wanted to draw something without flags as I personally don't really enjoy characters draped in flags when it wouldn't be IC for them, but the hanky code is cheeky enough that I thought it would be fun to do.
I also doodled Sunny my magical bunny and A BAGIE EL too. PERHAPS next month my characters can do things other than float in voids.
