I know it’s the 20th. Trust me I know. I’ve been panicking about how far we’re into the month for days now. But it’s ok because I finally started on January’s drawing… (it’s really not ok)

OMG I know I say this everytime but this is literally the worst thing ever. I sort of have a pose in mind but I can’t get it right. I went looking for more references and hopefully I can sort it out.

Seriously I’ve been thinking since practically day three of the month that I should be getting on with this if I want to finish it this month and now there’s 10 days left! Yeah I really should have left myself some more time /cries.

I even went and took selfies of myself in the kind of pose I was thinking of (and I loathe pictures of myself so much) as an initial reference as I thought that would be more accurate. However, there is only one of me and this is a pose that is heavy on the embrace. So that trick which I used to help me with the hand positioning on December’s drawing wasn’t so helpful in this case.

I just want to produce the picture in my head. Why is that so hard?
