Nina Kalinina<p>An update on me learning how to draw: I've doubled the number of hours I've put into drawing since the blog post, mostly studying specific illustration style applied to pixel art. It is strange to think "wow I've been drawing about a quarter of time I've spent playing Persona 5". </p><p>I still have very little idea about hair design, clothing design, shadows and coloring. But it starts looking alright for the pixel art style I'm aiming for. I wonder how much better things will look like after I put another 40 hours in.</p><p>For reference, a pixel portrait I made one week ago (shortly after studying anime styles), then a portrait I've made three weeks ago before studying any illustration but learning a bit of drawing, and then a reference drawing I've doodled last year, long before formally studying any drawing.</p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/pixelart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pixelart</span></a></p>
