Here's my ninth illustration for Drawrch - or should I say, Draaaaaarghch?
Thought I'd go a little simpler for this one after almost missing yesterday's and getting done at around 11:40 PM!
This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, and the Hartz brush for background texture.

Here's my eighth illustration for Drawrch - barely under the wire for today! 😅

Here's my seventh illustration for Drawrch. That's a full week of faces already!
I exported this one three or four times before I really got it right - you can see me making a lot of last-minute edits at the end if you watch the time-lapse below. I tried to make it a little more stylized than some of the previous ones, but I'm still working on getting comfortable with that.
I really want to avoid veering off into caricature territory, especially as I'm branching out and drawing a wider variety of people.
Anyway, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, and the Larapuna brush for shading/texture.

Here's my fifth illustration for Drawrch! I kept it pretty simple, even though it looks a lot like some of the more complicated ones I've done so far. I'm mostly happy with it, but I think the hair could probably use some work.

As promised, my fourth illustration for Drawrch is much more cartoony - I needed a break from the more realistic stuff for a moment.

Here's my third illustration for Drawrch!
Yesterday I told myself that I wouldn't do something super realistic for today's drawing - and I sorta didn't! - but this still took a turn into realism that I wasn't planning on. I'm happy with how it came out anyway.
Looking at it again... maybe I made the eyes too big? That is my constant struggle.

This is my second illustration for Drawrch!
It's been a long time since I've sat down to draw a realistically proportioned face, so this one took me a while. It's a little rough, but I don't hate how it turned out. I feel like I've been looking at it too long to really judge whether or not it turned out well, haha. As with last year's Drawrch, they won't all be this detailed.

Well, I thought I was going to take a break, but I couldn't help myself, and so here' s my first illustration for Drawrch 2023. I'll be posting a new drawing every day again, but this time they'll all be faces of various shapes, types, and styles.

Here's my final illustration for Februdoodle: See the Moon!
This one was a suggestion from my mother-in-law, who thought this would be a neat idea for a drawing: me, my wife, and our son looking at the moon and stars (which is one of his recent obsessions).
It's nice to be done with this project. I know that I will miss doing it every day - and I should honestly keep doing more drawings just to keep up my skill - but I also need a little break to recharge.
As with the others, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, and the Watercolor brush for background texture.
