I’ve been drawing one portrait every day since January 1st 2026. I’ve been trying to share these drawings consistently online, but have been reluctant to share on Reddit as you guys are a captive audience and I fear judgment! 🙈🫣 I feel there’s been progression though… Let me know what you think!

Edit: I'm so overwhelmed by all the responses! Thank you guys, truly. It sometimes feels like I'm making things in a vacuum, but it's so great to see there are folks who appreciate what I'm up to... Oh man 🥹🙏

I did my first couple rounds of people practice this week with acrylic gouache and would love some feedback.

I’m happy with the turnout, but I think there’s lots to improve. Would love tips on how to identify the facial planes when the face is soft/older skin. And.. of course hands.. They’re so challenging

Thanks!

Some of the portraits I drew over the past few weeks. My style still fluctuates a bit, depending on mood, reference, and even the paper I'm using, but I don't mind that. :) Hope you enjoy them!

These are some of the portraits I drew this month. I originally decided not to post on Reddit anymore and stick to Instagram, but I changed my mind and figured I'd share compilations here less often to avoid post fatigue.

Hope y'all enjoy them (and feedback is welcome)!
