7/11/25: I've been trying to write this entry for like a week but I keep getting caught up so mbb. As I said in my mini diary I've been putting this website on the backburner so that I can focus on other things likee my art.. Which has been pretty fun actually. Ive come to learn that despite what I used to think water color is actually a really forgiving medium so long as the sketch underneath looks nice. It's alot of fun just sorta moving my brush around and doing wtv cause somehow it always (mostly) looks okay. I can do it pretty fast too since I'm not paying a ton of attention to any details After the sketch it takes me like an hour. All in all I'm having a good time with watercolors but theres something else thats been bothering me.
So I've been drawing more fan art right? for whatever reason I've been getting worse and worse at capturing the essence of the character I'm drawing and I just cant figure out whyyy. It sucks so bad everytime I'm done with a sketch I'm like yea this techincally looks fine, but this doesnt look anything like the character!! I feel like I just drew some bootleg version instead of the real thing! Ig you get better with stuff like that the more you practice but it sucks when you dont have the skill needed to just do a simple homage to a character u care for.
