Dang, anon. This was encouraging and I do really appreciate it. I know that these are things I should already know, but it can be hard to keep in mind.

I'm fairly competent at drawing other things, and even when it's a fundamental that I'm missing, it somehow easier and less stressful to me to work on that than it is to work on figures. Drawing people is something that I have consistently failed at, so now when I am trying to work on getting it right, it still feels like I'm crashing right into a brick wall.

Your reminder to not flog myself for actually trying was very helpful and left me wanting to try again almost immediately after being so frustrated with myself last night. (I did not, as I am sick and sleep was required, but I wanted to, as opposed to tossing my hands up and saying fuck it.)

Hopefully I'll remember your posts the next time I'm frustrated.

I think I've mostly been using the same 4px brush for everything. The portraits from last night, I'd forgotten to check the extra opacity option for most of it, but otherwise.
