the art of making no mistakes (or the power of not being able to do so)

I've done my first pencil sketch in months. I might go back to painting in watercolor too once college is over. But it's such a weird feeling. I've been drawing with a pen for the past few months now. It actually helped me to draw more precisely since I didn't have the convenience of erasing any mistakes. And so far, it was a great experience. Unfortunately, my trusty pen had finally run out of ink a few days ago. I didn't draw for at least a week because of my finals projects and I was kind of still mourning the loss of my pen. A few hours ago, I finally got my shit together and got a pencil out and a new sheet of paper.


I drew penguinz0 since his face in one of his video's thumbnails on my recommended caught my eye. Not a realistic sketch but a small slightly cartoony less detailed version of his face. I was pleasantly surprised that it actually looked like him. I've never been able to draw a recognizable face even with reference since I've practically started doing art but this one turned out good. I was a bit worried I'd accidentally draw white jesus. I didn't thankfully. Needless to say, I've finally gotten over my fear of drawing actual people's faces and will be drawing more from this point on. I'll probably try to draw Kpop idols and if I'm feeling confident, try to redraw Hannibal or Will since I tried and failed miserably a few months ago.

I'm still incredibly bitter over that.
