[I made] my mom's recipe for lo juu yuk (soy braised pork) - served with a hard boiled soya egg and stir fried choy sum over rice4yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/FoodPorn
Branching Out - tried copying a bunch of tree sketches on Pinterest. I'm not quite sure how to get the branches to feel natural... They feel forced and inorganic right now2yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/learntodraw
Pet Mileage - Experimenting with getting distinct values with one pencil and trying to get the feel for curly doodle fur2yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/learntodraw
Copying - last one for now - her face shape was difficult for me to get. Will practice more... The expressiveness with just a few changes - squinted eyes, angle of eyebrows, mouth shape... So amazing to me how much can change with so little4yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/learntodraw
Copying - watching ATLA for the first time and loving the characters and expressions. King Bumi cracked me up - here's my take copying a few references4yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/learntodraw
Shaun passed away today after over 12 years with us - I'll never stop working on drawing him better4mo ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/learntodraw

Trying to get the twist in the wrapper along with where light catches and shadows cast/reflect colors4yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/learntodraw

More pets/animals mileage. Who knew my coworkers had so many different animals for pets?! Trying to capture expressions as much as shape and form...4yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/learntodraw

Just finished my first playthrough without looking anything up (76%, 34h46m40s). Drew a character a day while at it and finally checking out the subreddit for some more info. I sure missed a lot, but ready to explore more!3yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/HollowKnight
I want to learn how to do buildings and cityscapes... But I think I'll need a lot more patience for the details... Or pick a few areas to focus on rather than trying to detail a bunch. Maybe like my dog drawings, I need to find the right shadows to emphasize?4yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/learntodraw
6/16/2018 - 2/27/2019 - first one took me over 2 hours... Second is after 99 heads over 13 days and took me about 20 minutes. Onwards!5yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/learntodraw
Personal inktober - can anyone guess the prompt and make out what these are?2yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/learntodraw
Pet Mileage - Working on pets all month and kicking things off with Shaun-dog enjoying a personal scratch and shake session. Trying to get comfortable with some really weird poses this month along with the standard portraits3yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/learntodraw
My Process: Cook dinner, draw dinner. Still working on trying to add shine/transparency to foods to make them look more appetizing and appealing5yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/learntodraw
My Process: Cook, pic, eat, draw - feels like I captured the spirit of the plate, but could do better with proportions. Also need to figure out how to better represent oil shine...5yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/learntodraw
[I made] Beef short ribs served over rice with some banchan: spinach, broccoli, cucumber, rolled omelette, japchae, and (purchased) napa kimchee2yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/FoodPorn
Looking for some feedback on organic perspectives. I'm so frustrated after the first set - it should just be boxes, but somehow I'm making them non-box shaped?! Are my initial Y structures wrong or my second or third set of lines...?5yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/ArtFundamentals
Weekend project: 7 Billy bookcases (5 full, 2 halves) with Oxberg doors to line our bedroom wall. Since it could barely fit our ceiling height, we used QuakeHOLD straps to keep them to the walls (important living in California!)5yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/ikeahacks
Focusing on pose rather than details, do the poses and shapes come across?5yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/learntodraw
Trying out rough sketching with color. Here's a rendition of my favorite photo we've taken of Mammoth Lakes5yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/learntodraw
More pet mileage. Challenge was no shadows - was this to work on getting the shapes and shadow areas defined without cheating? Will keep practicing!4yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/learntodraw
[I made] fish stick tacos with homemade pickled red onions and tartar sauce (mayo, relish, tapatio)2yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/shittyfoodporn
Watched a do's/don'ts video last night after finishing and realized I did a majority of the don'ts. Took some of the tips from the do's. Wish I took a couple more progress shots, but big difference this time was blending with a tissue paper and building layers of graphite vs shading my planes5yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/learntodraw
First ink face... Oh geez, it's like starting from scratch! No where to hide - no blending, every insecure line is amplified. Starting drawabox soon and goal is to gain fundamentals and confidence...5yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/learntodraw
100 Heads Challenge, Day 4, ~3 hours, 7 heads... 24 down, 76 to go. Tonight was fast and rough compared to the last 3. Starting to look like faces, but proportions aren't great and all are MILES away from their reference photos... I'm missing SOMETHING...5yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/learntodraw
[OC] Homemade Spaghetti and Meatballs (tomato red wine sauce sweetened with carrot, onion, celery; 60/40 pork/beef meatballs with fennel, oregano, basil)5yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/FoodPorn

100 Heads Challenge, Day 9, ~2.5 hours, 12 heads... 69 down, 31 to go. Getting much faster for the initial lay in and finishing most in 10-15min. Still need to figure out feature fitting, but faces are starting to look more similar to the references. Learning a ton and a lot more learn!5yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/learntodraw
Wife is replaying rdr2 and I'm trying to be here live journal. She actually got the bear early game with just a rifle and her knife without getting killed once. Color me impressed...5yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/reddeadredemption2
100 Heads Challenge, Day 12, ~2 hours, 7 heads... 92 down, 8 to go. Final stretch... Still a lot of variability between horrible and acceptable. Most still look really flat, but most also look like faces now. Last ones I'll continue focus on facial feature fitting contours...5yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/learntodraw
100 Heads Challenge, Day 11, ~2 hours, 7 heads... 85 down, 15 to go. Switched to 4B from 2B (partly cause my 2B is almost dead, partly because I wanted to try darker shadows). Reference heads got really weird... Made fitting features even more difficult for me5yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/learntodraw
Finished my second sketchbook of the year! A bit over a year of drawing and loving it so much =)6yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/learntodraw

100 Heads Challenge, Day 7, ~2.25 hours, 9 heads... Half way there. Tonight was about speed (started late) and planes (Loomis + plane outlines). I need to start modifying more to fit... Most don't fit perfect thirds. Still need to figure out 3D features to fit the face shape...5yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/learntodraw
[OC] Smoked salmon - not pretty to look at, but tastes great - cured for 5 hours in mix of vodka, brown sugar, salt and pepper, smoked 30 minutes in Alder wood, and another 45 minutes at 225F on the Traeger5yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/FoodPorn
Anyone know how to do coloring with markers without streaks? Didnt realize it would come out like this til I finished...5yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/learntodraw
Trying out a brush pen! Hope I learn better control of these inks in the coming month!5yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/drawing
100 Heads Challenge, Day 8, ~2 hours spread over 3 sessions, 7 heads... 57 down, 43 to go. Getting a better feel for how to use and modify the Loomis head model.

11 months into my self taught drawing journey! Tried to push the realism using darker values for shadows to show he's sinking into the blankets! What else can I do?6yr ⋅ ShaunTheDog ⋅ r/drawing
