And now I'm going to show you two sketchbooks this time.
This is when the pandemic officially begins.
Because we are not permitted to leave our house and it bores me, one of my plans at this time is to practice drawing because I have more time to devote to it. Since the school has been closed owing to the outbreak of covid 19. I challenge myself to practice and practice and explore.
But before anything else, my sketchbooks as well as pencils and other materials are not that good quality since you know I'm just a beginner and I don't want to spend huge money on this since it's just a practice.
"I attempted to follow a video tutorial on how to enhance my drawing skills and what art supplies to use. However, because art materials are rather expensive, financial instability prevents me from purchasing the art materials that I really want to have and utilize. Observing art tutorial videos became a pastime for me. I won't be able to do so till I start college. Because I chose a degree program with art as one of the majors, and I had already purchased genuine art supplies such as a sketch pad and a graphite pencil by that time. Despite the fact that it was past practice time, I continued to practice. And now that the pandemic has struck, I've been given plenty of opportunities to experiment with and improve my artistic skills."
Now, let's see whether I've made any progress.
Let's get it on!
This is Priyanka from Zgirls. I discovered the zgirls girl group in the first month of the lockdown since I was on social media always. I also like them because the group consists of different nationalities including the Philippines. And they are all good-looking. But I think they are disbanded now.This is Priyanka from Zgirls.

As you have observed, most of my drawings are portraits. And the most difficult part for me to draw is hair. Through the process of practicing ever since at the beginning I really don't know how to draw the hair. I watch tutorials on Instagram and YouTube but I still don't get it. Another one is the face, since I've mentioned before about anatomy, which I find it difficult and I don't get it easily. So yeah I don't know how to draw the right proportion of the face. Another thing is the shading, I still don't know where to put the dark and light side of the face. And lastly the color, I don't know how to blend colors and apply them. Sometimes when I apply color the product looks ugly. So I settled with a pencil.
And I tried to copy so many references but ended up with a different face, so I will settle for that. I won't pursue it anymore and I will use reference as my guide only. Haha
During this time, I'm eager to learn drawing since I'm inspired and motivated because I was able to get along with some artists on Instagram since I've made an account for my arts. I was able to share my interest and learn their interest as well. And I was also able to observes different arts works.
Wow! You are very talented. I love your work. I will wait for more. 😊
