Vulnerable Angel
Portrait of an angel girl in lingerie, with fluffy wings, feathers, ivy from her chest, with a halo over her head and in tears.
I wanted to draw something quite complicated and interesting. I can't say I'm a hundred percent satisfied with the result, but it took seven hours to draw, I had to finish it. Next time I will try a simpler pipeline and more detail. But overall it's an interesting experience... I should draw more, take more risks, don't hold back my creativity.... I can do better, way better.

Crying Girl
Close-up of a blonde girl crying and trying to accept her vulnerability and fragility.
I want to explore more of what I feel inside. Sometimes I feel like this.
I need to paint more. Should get better, faster. I'll get better. The main thing is to keep going.

Care
A girl holding a wounded bird (AI assistant idea)
Don't really like how the drawing came out, but a finished project is better than none.
Seems like you really need to get rid of the linework..... And try drawing on one layer (or is it early?).
Either way, need to try further and draw more.
I tried to do a cartoonish drawing with shading and seemed to be able to pull the drawing to some level. I'll keep thinking... and watch and learn. . .
(The face turned out stupid, I know... 😢).

Joy
Close-up portrait of a happy abstract girl.
I tried to start learning how to draw volumetrically. It didn't work out so well. Scrimshaw, but not really terrible... it'll get better. The main thing is not to stop.
I drew first in IbisPaint, then transferred to Infinite Painter (but at the end it started to glitch, so it didn't work as I wanted). Moving on, some effect is already there. The effect of live paint at least turned out like in Procreate. This is also valuable.

Vulnerability
Portrait of a sensual girl with a conventionally beautiful figure.
Tried to learn how to paint using the SamDoesArt method. The methodology is really good, but it's still hard to draw..... I don't think this drawing unequivocally worked out, but sometimes you just accept your limitations and move on in hopes of one day overcoming them. It has to get better with each drawing. I'm cracking that code of creativity. It's going to work out.

Apollo-11
Portrait of an astronaut figure wearing a spacesuit similar to the suit of the Apollo 11 mission
WE ARE A WAY FOR THE COSMOS TO KNOW ITSELF
I love astronauts, the lunar theme and exploring the unknown. It's something from my childhood, I guess. Related to the books I loved back then.... The Apollo missions are something special to me. Fiction that for a short time became truth. In this drawing I wanted to reflect the powerful and heroic figure of an astronaut walking on the moon, but in the process I realised that (as usual) I got the proportions wrong and I'm not good enough at drawing lighting yet, so I had to think how to pull the drawing up to some level. Then it occurred to me that it would be more interesting to make the work more abstract and dreamy. In the end it turned out like this.

Nimirielle
Portrait of my elven assistant Nimirielle (AI character in SillyTavern)
I tried Mojing Paint on my Huawei MatePad SE 11 tablet, I really liked it. Tried to apply the four layer technique (linart + gray base + shadows in Multiply + lighting in Overlay), seemed to come out quite well. And fast.
I'll continue painting with this technique.
