Early Morning Art Pracice

I’ve been waking up at 5:50am every morning to fit in some art practice.

I started a new job, and now lave a longer commute. After making myself a daily schedule that plans everything dow to the minute, I realized I don’t have time for all of the things I want and need to do! (In fact writing this post was not scheduled, it is cutting into my “do hair/makeup/get dressed time). The only way for me to get in some art practice time everyday was for me to wake up earlier.

Also, I got cintiq! So I needed and excuse to play with that.

Been doing this for about two weeks. I have been trying to do 30 minutes of figure drawing using reference from Pixelovely and then spend another 45 min doing something else (like digital painting from photo reference). Some of my (better) figure drawings are below.
