Kettlebell Training


I had to draw alittle something as I was inspired by a story written by my good pal over at Jayse's Brutal Ball Busting Stories. Sounds like he's currently on sabbatical but hope he comes back soon...

Artist's notes:

Haven't had much inclination to draw last couple of months due to being distracted by, well, 2020 and all its assorted virus-related shenanigans.

I'm still struggling with faces and am beginning to suspect I may actually have a degree of mild facial aphantasia. Currently I working around it by just drawing a rough face and then moving around the components using the cut tool until it looks okay. We work with the tools we have I guess.

What worked better for me is that I'm using a bigger sized canvas, which seems to help me manipulate detail better.  This is challenging as I'm using a iPad 2018 and Procreate, the latter of which I love and the former of which I use to get by...when I first started this journey I didn't know if I'd invest in it enough to buy a better drawing tool so I just used whatever I had lying around. I like to think that I am actually getting okay enough that I should think about getting something more...extravagant.

This pic has also been a lesson in that I'm shit at background due to disinterest, mainly. By the time I've finished the subject I feel the last thing I want to do is draw a background. Something to work on :)
