I mean I'm constantly doing character sketches. really freakin tiny character sketches, yet I very rarely do like still-life or anatomy sketches. I wonder how I expect to magically get better? I'm sure it'll be spectacularly far-fetched. I'm always preaching about the character designing process, yet I can just barely draw. You know what I do? Cartoons. And that's it.
Not saying cartooning is not significant. It's just I don't really branch out and that's where a lumberjack comes and cuts me down for paper. I can draw anime though. And I can kind of draw like Danny Antonucci. but I actually haven't tried to do it in a long time.
I need to remember to do more sketches of things & people. I need a better grasp of light.
I mean look at this...

This is some watercolour painting practice by a dude named NAN0jam on dA. This guy is one of those examples of people I want to draw like. He is incredible at inking, his stylization is exceptional, everything's sharp and clean, yet soft things still retain softness. AND HE CAN PAINT TOO...
sigh. day-by-day man.
