Did Vin Worked in Last 2 Weeks?

VinDrawins Blogpost #6

Hiiyoo 👋... Here's an update on my work. Last to last week I decided to take a break from learning animation as I was burning out. So, in the last 2 weeks, I created 2 artworks.

First, it was a fanart of an anime character that I watch weekly 😉, Yuji and Sukuna from the Jujutsu Kaisen show and I'm saying it, this is something really crazy-awesome anime after Attack on Titan (at least from my pov, 'coz I have not watched all popular animes for e.g Demon Slayer, Vinland Saga or One Piece 🤷‍♂️.

About this Fanart, the challenge was I didn't ever draw a fire element 🤔, I mean it was difficult to understand how it's drawn, but after going through a lot of images of anime/manga/webtoon panels of how fire looks in anime. I tried to simply that effect, it's like 2-3 layers, and boom! and done but it is the shape that's the trickiest thing 😶. So, the next fire-related character I'll draw will be Shiva from Brahmastra 😌🫶 #RKfan 😏 also I loved that movie 🍿.

Also, if you want this fanart on your phone or desktop as wallpaper then, I have created some different versions of that which are available in the shop for absolutely free 😊.

After making Yuji Sukuna Fanart, I started feeling guilty for not completing the comic which I promised to do a few months. The thing is I'm confused and desperate for social media following. I mean seriously, I'm trying to do so many things but I'm getting nothing out of it, neither I'm getting any commissions nor are my followers increasing on any social media 😕, I'm like stuck somewhere, there are too many directions/paths available, I can do this - I can do that, on top of that the tension created by AI 👀, it's like what should I do. That's why I slowly cut down my entertainment part from watching regularly to only watching on Fridays-Sunday (1 hour each). I'm looking at other people who have big followings even when they're not that good at art quality, which demotivates me, yeah, I'm chasing the fame game 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️.

Oh! Sorry I got out of the topic, I'll keep it this much. So, after Fanart, I thought to do some work on comic. Then I did the character design for one of the characters which will appear in a few pages in the beginning 🫣. And this also tells me that, yeah I can draw mech stuff also, but it's more into understanding the 3D volume of character.

And on the parallel side, I also learned how to animate the character walk cycle, which I'll share on coming Wednesday or Saturday 😕.

Now I'm thinking of following a strict schedule where on Mon-Wed/Thur I'll work on a comic, 2 more character designs needed 😶 and Friday - Sunday, will be focused on animation, rigging, and anything related to animation, here I'm going to do a new character design of a character for short meme type reel video 😑. And let's see how thing goes, which means I'll be creating content twice a week which also means I need to speed up the process.

Also...also there's another news I want to share, it's about a freelance project but it's still not confirmed, but I got selected for that last year only to be ghosted 👀 that was weird, So I got another opportunity also this I'll be better prepared 🫡. Let's hope this one lands perfectly 😶!

See you next week with the promise of working hard on creating different content🤞.

Thank you for reading 🙂
