The 100 GIRLS Project #001

It feels like my drawing skills are deteriorating rather than improving as I get older. I guess it’s understandable since I don’t practice like I used to. I’ve started the “100 GIRLS Project” as a way to polish up my drawing skills, as well as take them to the next level. I feel like this is something I need to tackle before I continue work on any other projects.

The plan is simply to draw 100 girls. I hope to work on a piece everyday, but most works will take more than a few days to finish. Some of these girls will be original designs, others will be fan art. Some may be referenced, while others freehanded. I will be trying out different drawing and coloring techniques as well.

Of course, I will be taking requests, so just let me know what you'd like to see.
Here’s girl #001.

This first girl is drawn and colored in my typical fashion with a simple and straightforward pose. I wanted to stay in my comfort zone for this first one. The CG was freehanded entirely in Photoshop. It took about 3 hours to do. Thanks to Yak-ika, and Obakeh from BAAU for their suggestions on giving the girl red hair and a yellow/white striped bathing suit.
Hopefully I’ll go through an improvement as I work on more pieces.
