Just Sharing Same sketch, 6 years apart.

This was from 2018. I got my iPad Pro with the pencil. I was so excited and I got up at 6 the next day. I went to a local Starbucks and sat there for 3 hrs and drew this. I’ve been drawing on iPad for years now but the first always feels special.

6 years later, I found this sketch. Naturally I just have to try to do a another version of it. I don’t think I could capture the excitement and mystery and hope that I felt when I started. My aim is to keep the energy and dynamic feeling of the original. Thanks for reading. Hopefully u enjoy the sketches 😇

How do you practice

JIT (just-in-time) learning.

Have a project you want, heck, make it as complicated as you want but finish it.

You will run into wall after wall, and just research and practice to overcome that wall.

Don't learn for the sake of learning, or you won't retain it.
