More pencil sketches based on YouTube drawing tutorials. (I may go back and color in the cartoons later, but I'm trying to not let myself get distracted.)

"Draw So Cute" tutorials are literally aimed at children, but I still love them. You're guaranteed to always end up with something cute for very little effort and sometimes I just need that far more than I need to stretch my skills.

edit: I added some more, including an Art for Kids Hub puppy. The small figure drawings in the background are things I did based on some random line-of-action.com photo references.

I'm still conflicted about the pencil. It's probably the best medium for figure drawing (let's be realistic, I need to erase A LOT) but the lack of contrast is unsatisfying.

Nothing new worth posting so I'm uploading a little drawing from over a week ago. I at least like how the pastel Sharpies worked on this.

I have this list of things I want to draw and I don't always get to them in a timely manner.

Draw So Cute has this whole thing with adorable anthropomorphic food and I have no idea why drawing eyes on food is so cute, but it is.

This was about the time I was deciding I don't like this sketchbook though. It's advertised as being for markers, but all the marker drawings have come out streaky and uneven.

Does anyone have a preference for whether I post thumbnails or larger images? Part of me thinks small thumbnails look cleaner on the page, but also that having to click on them is one step too much work to ask people to do. :-)

This is another one adapted from a "Draw So Cute" video without really looking much like the original. (I don't know the inspiration, but it sounded like it's from a cartoon series or a game or a doll or something.) I just thought the hair would be fun.

I've decided I hate the current sketchbook, so I'm setting the goal of powering through and filling it up by the end of the month so I can justify buying a different one. (I actually have several sketchbooks that I need to finish up before I can justify buying a new one.)
