Yesterday was the last day of March, and we'd love to have you check in and chat with us. How have things been with you this past month?

Did you sign up for or take part in any fandom activities in March, or have you been working on any personal art projects? Are you currently trying to meet a deadline? Feel free to share upcoming challenges that have got you excited, any frustrations you've been experiencing, possible goals for the next month, and so on.

I did one drawing. The sketch was okay, but it went wrong during inking and coloring. But it was good coloring practice.

I have a few projects in process, but am going slowly because I want them to be good, but don't know how to make good.

Nice sketch, at least you have a picture to remember it :) What did you use for coloring?

[olivermoss]

I used Copics to color.

I love that olive green colour. I find the drawing and painting tutorials on youtube are really useful. Keep at it!

Thanks! I was drawing a character who wears eyeliner, so I had to define the eyes more than I usually would. I love that green and I am liking using the blender pen to add highlights to cloth.

Although his facial expression changed a bit I don't think the coloured version looks wrong. It's just different! (And in my recent Bucky piece I went overhis face for several times and he still came out looking completely different from what I wanted).

To me, the eyebrows are too high and the eyes are too small. Hopefully, future attempts will go better.

Sorry for the platitude but practice really makes perfect. :-)
