The last Eileen was kind of stiff.

I limited myself in time (6 hours) and it helped me identify problem areas in drawing.

Most dramatically was anatomy.

It was rough to realize just how out of practice I am at less abstract body work at a fundamental level. It hurts my work flow pretty severely which although producing passable work given the unlimited amount of time I use for sketching the fact that I can't fix a issue in a pinch and often waste time by leaving discarded sketches behind that I simply gave up on trying to fix leads me to believe that It's a severe enough issue that I need to start address directly. And that the sooner I do the better all my work will immediately become!

So I know what to practice! I'm pretty happy with the rendering/ drawing techniques seen here and in my usual works. It's just that I am being held back right now by a very specific thing which is something I am starting to work on.
