Description
This is for the August Refinement challenge from Improvement-Club .The idea was that you picked one subject and drew it for every single day in august, making 31 drawings for the challenge and hopefully some magical improvement would show.
I took the main character from my Emion story, Sato Memoru , for the sake of consistency (and mad character obsession, that too XD) and made the challenge all about showing various emotions and moods with body language.
I'm not sure whether I improved or not, but I sure got faster once I got the hang of it and I've learned a lot when researching body language. The amazing input from my watchers helped tremendously as well.
All of them are speedpaints, made in 30 minutes to 1 hour. Because one painting a day keep the sadness away :')
As for the character;
Sato is the main character of the Emion storyline. He's leading a double life. On the one side he's the cold and merciless leader of the rebel organisation Neorasa. On the other side he's a student in the academy where nobody knows of his real identity (it's part of a plan to cover up his real identity). He's usually either seen with the "I don't care" face or slightly annoyed, but most of that is a cover up to hide whatever his true emotions are. Because in an organisation like that, showing even the simplest bit of emotions is exposing your weakness.
There's obviously a whole lot more to the character and all of the adventures. It's for a reason the current book is over 400 pages already XD. But that'll be for another time.
Drawings from left to right, top to bottom;
01. Neutral pose. The usual "I don't care" look.
02. "Hi there!"
03. Shy/uncomfortable (who wouldn't be as a new student?)
04. Annoyed
05. Waiting
06. Explaining something (confident)
07. Discovering his powers
08. "I don't like people"
09. Explaining stuff to a classmate
10. "Could you please shut up, Aiden?"
11. Studying
12. Revealing his energyfield
13. Contemplating life
14. Sad / depressed
15. "How do you mean you messed up, Masaru?"
16. Defense
17. "Ehhh?"
18. Full rage power up
19. Fear
20. That one time the boy actually went to fucking school (about time!)
21. Nice and comfortable (and coffee XD)
22. Out of breath
23. "Welcome to Neorasa, bitch!"
24. That one time somebody actually liked him (like... what the hell XD)
25. Psychotic murder mode (Oh hell yes, I'm loving that Noah story arc! ^^)
26. Guess who's not having lunch money today? (aggression vs fear)
27. Yes. Telekinetic powers since birth. Isn't that epic :')
28. Ouch! (Don't worry. The dude has excellent healing ability's... though it does probably hurt like hell)
29. Happy
30. "I'm gonna fucking MURDER you!"
31. Confident (Also; new outfit :'))
Yes. We're done now.
I'm all hyped up to write again

For some reason seeing a character of yours reminds me of one of my own..
I loved my character to bits, it's like I carried him everywhere like a puppy in a purse. I eventually just grew tired of roleplay (yes he was a RP character) and it's been so long. I haven't even gave much thought to that character ever again. dang the feels. anywaaays, I should make an important comment XD i really love the second picture's hair and facial expression :3

So.. how was it to draw every day? Other than getting faster did you notice an improvement? It's really admireable that you managed to complete the challenge in time!

DamaiMikaz In reply to Neelai [2015-09-01 17:39:11 +0000 UTC]
I've done more months of daily drawing this year, so it's not completely new for me
As for improvement... it's hard to really notice that. It did get easier over time (leaving me more time to color stuff) so I guess that's a sign I'm improving

Neelai In reply to DamaiMikaz [2015-09-02 08:37:56 +0000 UTC]
You are so inspiring. Drawing every day is just impossible for me at the moment, but I hope I'll get there one day!
When do you find time to paint? Or, do you even have to "find time"? :-D

DamaiMikaz In reply to Neelai [2015-09-02 11:10:11 +0000 UTC]
Most of them are speedpaints, so they didn't take more than an hour.
And actually there were days that I was away, so I did 2 painting the next (or previous) day to keep on schedule

Neelai In reply to DamaiMikaz [2015-09-02 13:12:06 +0000 UTC]
But still... Even if they are speedpaints, you still have to take the time to sit down and do them.

DamaiMikaz In reply to Neelai [2015-09-02 13:18:31 +0000 UTC]
It's a routine you have to get into.
The first few days it's odd. After that you get into the routine and just draw ^^

Oh no, I missed that challenge ! That sucks !
But anyway, the exercise looks great and I'll have to try that, even if no challenge (though it does help to have someone to work for...)
I love your grid. really inspiring !

Nice work! And I'm sure it was very helpful. The last ones look way more "finished" than the first few.
And that group seems useful!

DamaiMikaz In reply to DiseasedDoll [2015-09-01 13:14:10 +0000 UTC]
It's mostly because drawing got easier the longer I was onto it, so I had more time to color
