Face 2!

Starting late and not catching up is rather inauspicious, but dammit, it's gonna get done.

A month ago my hard drive wouldn't boot and I had to get a new one. I loaded Clip Studio on it and didn't give it another thought until today. If I'm gonna do the things I plan on doing, I may as well launch it and play around with it. But then CS wanted me to enter the license and it failed! Turns out that I had to deactivate and then reactivate it with the current hard drive. Talk about momentum killer.

I still feel rusty. I hope I can feel a bit more comfortable soon.

This face was grabbed from the internet. The girl is actually younger, but I tend to age children. I don't know how it happens.

29Faces!

I've been seriously neglecting this blog in favor of Instagram, but I've also been neglecting a lot of other stuff too! I guess 29 Faces keeps me coming back if only for a little while.

Today is a warmup inspired by Ayala Art's prompt: Princess Diana. I never thought I'd draw her because I'm not so much a fan of the hype, but since I was completely unprepared for 29 Faces September (see: neglect), it seemed as good a face to tackle as any.

Looking at her photos, she was the Queen of Side Eye and Serious Shade. Maybe that was part of her allure. I don't think I made her snarky-looking enough here, but you get the idea. I originally wanted to do this in ink, but I saw the crown and noped outta that.
