Main Study Habit
Do a study BEFORE watching the video
- Most likely a color or value, time it to be 1hr
- This part should be made a habit. Try to finish before noon? Not feasible in college. Only on free days, but the allotment is not necessarily guaranteed.
Only then should I consume lectures. I think I’ll be put to sleep if I do that first.

I’ll list some various composition tricks
- Pose angles interpret differently
- Crop background references for clarity
- Photo-bash/copy patterns?
- more willingness to mix references.
- Placing additional objects in perspective
Goals
Arknighting
Dryegen, Gandy Gandy has very good values Dryegen has very good stylization.
Get predictable time estimates + Improve Speed
I burn out on the sketching phase. They’re supposed to be quick, so I need to limit the time I spend on that part.
- Because of the above reason, I don’t get to the coloring step, where I feel the art actually matters
Obtain Color Wheel geoguesser sharingan
More studies will help. Chinese style rendering has a predictable pattern on staying mostly left of the color wheel and painting with low saturation.
- Try soroni, ahri, yuming li, dino_illus
Obtain 3D shape Vision
Projected light, and how certain shapes set it up. Seen often in clothing folds. How can I use edge control to create fake details?
- What degree of “edge” can I add to not completely lost the main shape?
