Partial Success: Summer Goals Recap Week the Sixth (6th), Father's Day

It's Father's Day here in the USA, shout out to my old man, best dad ever! But he's not here, he and my little sister took off to California for a week and a half. Lucky fiend

So, my goals weren't disastrous this week! I did some 3D.
That's all, failed everywhere else. Ha! But this week maybe I'll do some stuff from those books I swore I'd use.
Always improvement! 
I didn't post this week's assignment from class because I'm really not proud of it. I'm a bit embarrassed by it, actually.
But here's some cool stuff:.

I was just practicing my foreshortening. I'm still rereading Eyeshield 21 and there's so much extreme perspective. I take a step back and look at it and I think, "I could do that!" So I'm trying to push myself more.
The blue and red guy holding the sword? His hand? I used reference! I was sitting in church (I was listening! I promise!) and I really needed a hand to make sure it looked right. I tried mine but would have had to break my arm to get it right. So I turned to my dear mother and bent her wrist all funky and drew that. So that's my mom's hand.

    1. I replied to this comment yesterday, but apparently it didn't post! Yeah, I wasn't thrilled with how my assignment turned out. It really needs some more fine tuning before I post it.
