10th June:
- todays practice was a little lighter
- I was revisiting drawing noses and lips for the completionist sake
- Next week plan is to revisit how to draw hair and lineweight and apply it to next breakdowns
- I will probably reduce the amount of breakdowns Im going to do in total. I feel good about my progress so far and I don't want to waste my time. I just feel in my bones that I need a new challenge.

Hey!
Saw you're working to improve your drawing skills, and just wanted to recommend a community to join- learning is always faster/better when together! Look up "ArtProf", they have weekly streams and an amazing discord community. Also, Ethan Becker's discord channel is also highly active (though much more industry-oriented...).
Cheers!
Thanks for the suggestions!

Thanks! Highly recommend the curriculum for solo artist for fast results and consistent results!
