Idk what possessed me to draw such a tall forehead man :(

Don't really have time for original illustrations due to work, so studies would be the only content you can expect from me for a loooong while. I hope that I can make the best of it though.

That doesn't feel too bad I think, brought me back to the time in college I spent a month straight to study human figure.

And this will he how they turn physical disability into evidence of psychopathy. Awesome. #LimaFromAura is salivating over this. This is how she gets conservatorship over people to force them into her “treatment center”/data broker program.

From the link:

“Similarly, if smartphone sensors detect a notable increase in time spent at home (via GPS), decreased physical activity (via accelerometer), and reduced initiation and response to communication (via call and text meta-data), this could trigger a brief assessment of depressive symptoms or anhedonia. If symptoms are elevated, the system could deliver a targeted, smartphone-delivered behavioral activation or cognitive behavioral intervention.”

A hand study with some colour and extra slapped on when my hand got too tired. And yeah, the model for this image was that bodypart of mine. The closest to a selfie I'm willing to get.

Last weekend I wisited a natural history museum, and they had this activity table where you could draw the other half of a spider, which I did, but I didn't take any pictures of that and left my creation there. But! That reminded me about how good it is to sometimes practice drawing straight from reference.

Doing this study, I thought that it really forces you to think your subject more in 3d when you draw from a live 3d reference instead of a still picture referene. I should practice that more... And, also, do more studies from reference in general. (It's always the shoulds.)

“A landmark within-patient study in Sweden found that ADHD medication was associated with a 41% reduction in criminal convictions in women and a 32% reduction in men. In the US, MarketScan insurance data demonstrated that adolescents and adults had a 31% lower risk of substance-related emergency events in women and a 35% lower risk in men during months on ADHD medication. Similarly, Chang and colleagues reported a 42% lower rate of motor vehicle crashes in women and a 38% lower rate in men in medicated months. This real-world benefit extends even further. A meta-analysis by Boland et al demonstrated protective effects similar to those found by Li and colleagues, showing 25% to 35% within-group improvement during the active treatment period and nearly 50% improvement between treated and never-treated groups across mood disorders, substance use disorders, accidents, crime, injuries, and educational outcomes.”
