Drawing Progress Report

Drawing problems on my mind lately:

How to photograph pencil drawings. I always have to do a ton of cleaning in a paint program before any drawing starts looking halfway decent. I'm using a smartphone that isn't known for its camera capabilities, but proper lighting is probably the biggest issue. That, and making sure the drawing itself is as clean as possible, with no stray or gritty lines that refuse to be erased.

How to use colored pencils. Last month I splurged on a big box of Prismacolor pencils, but I still haven't done anything with them. I'm sort of afraid to, though I'm not sure why. Maybe because I don't want to mess up a pencil drawing that might've been worth keeping.

How to draw symmetrical faces. If the face is looking straight at you, you can tell if the eyes aren't quite lining up, or if the jaw is a little lopsided, or if the features are drifting to one side. Can't really fudge these things. It all has to be right, or it looks wonky.

Anyway, I took another stab at drawing Rumarin, and it turned out better than my last attempt. Feels more true to how he actually looks in the game.
