I drew a lot of faces over the past few days like this one and this one and these ones. You know us artists write if we haven't drawn in a while so I was laying around doing my usual stuff and I realized I'm just missing an intense session of good focus and stupid drawings. And why don't you attempt to jolt myself back to be enough? I figured drawing a bunch of faces in an absurdly teeny amount of time would be enough for me to get back to where I was but in the break that I've taken away from the pinning paper I felt like I forgot how to draw. So to make sure my brain didn't have to go to an overdrive I decided to do the 100 Heads challenge which I found from this lovely person right here where I draw 100 heads obviously. These first 20 me actually weren't that bad after I got through the initial 5 to give me back into the tempo of drawing. The bad part of these first like 5 was the fact that I kind of went in with no plans. I really didn't know what I wanted the end result to look like. Don't do that always have some kind of idea of what you want your drawings to look like so you don't go in there blind. It's not good. I think for each sketch here of this initial 20 each one was about 15 minutes. So when you multiply those off the top of my head at this round 5 or 6 hours of drawing straight which felt pretty good for me for just getting back in. I was actually able to focus for the majority of that time. I kind of spaced it out in like an hour and 30 minutes each time I would take a little break and then go back into it. For these drawings I really wasn't going for likeness. I was kind of just going for a mixture of speed and designing certain things like shapes and lines. I actually draw similar to a comic book style where it's black and white inking and I use big medium and small shapes to get the types of details I want within the drawing. The reason why I do it in this style is because it's easy for me to see the light and dark contrast in the drawing so I can use that to create the illusion of form. But this one I like because he stare back to my soul. This one I like because it looks like Robert Patterson to me. I don't know why. And this guy I like because I don't know. But oh no, the first 20 went well for me for the first day. So in the interest of time I decided that the next bunch of faces would be about speed. So in these next faces I attempted to draw super super fast or still retaining something that resembles a face. By the end of this session I knocked off around 40 faces with each one taking about 5 minutes to complete 1 to 5 minutes. So this added another 3 hours of just looking at people more attractive than me. And by this point I had run out of steam because I was focusing more of the quantity of my drawings and the quality of my drawings. Also these two are my favorites. Alright, before we get to second half I must offer a little explanation of what burnout actually is. In my own personal experience, burnouts will overwork yourself to a point that you have no more creative juices or mental capacity to actually do any work. In the past this came to me in a form of exhaustion and not being able to get out of bed. You know this is very similar to depression. Now I figured I wouldn't get burnout for only drawing for 8 hours but I didn't want to be bored while drawing all these faces so I pondered. Alright, let me give you the grand tour. Over here we have various faces drawn in a cartoon style that emulate shows like the boondocks and Castlevania and stuff like that. And right here we have a John Wick with craters that I had to re-draw because Clip Studio paint corrupted and I lost the dead. We have the man himself Ryan Gosling. This is a joke. Ignore this. We have a Miles Morales of here to warm up with paint. And right under that we have a glossy Walter White. Next to a grayscale Robert De Nero that I spent way too much time doing. Big swole guy, Last of Us guy, Last of Us girl and lastly the one I combined all my knowledge from drawing these faces in two was this man right here. Now after all these hours did I become a great artist? No. Not even close. But did I improve just that little bit to get there? Yes. Now if you actually counted the heads throughout the video this is only like 80 something. Could I draw this last batch well or not quickly just to say I completed the challenge? No.
