Sam: Posing (No AI)

Hey guys,

I am back with something different this time. A digital "pencil" drawing. Using the first vacation I got this year, I got myself a drawing tablet and this is the first result after after 2 days of work. It has quite a bit beginner mistakes since I have not yet a feeling for the software I am using. The second picture is the reference. As you can see the colouring is a bit off due to my second monitors contrast settings.

While it takes quite a lot of time to create a picture, it feels more satisfying than a rendered image. Right know it feels abit like copying a photo with a pencil, but in the future I hope to expand my skills in digital drawing and test different art styles.

To your information: I am very much at the end of my (paid) PhD. The coming months will be different for me. Writing scientific papers, my dissertation and looking for a job. Therefor I can't make predictions whether this results in more pictures or not.

Anyway, let me know what you think about drawn pictures instead of rendered images. Every comment is appreciated.
