My 2015 drawing training - Mega Man 3

     In 2015 I was a bit uncertain on how to approach drawing and what exactly I should do to improve. At the same time I was listening to a band called "The Megas", that played rock n' roll versions of classic MegaMan songs. Listening to their second album about the third MegaMan game, I decided that a good way to practice was to draw every boss from the 8 bit NES game. Here's the results.

All bosses

I started with a traditional drawing in paper of Topman, the game's easiest boss.

After that I bought a Wacom tablet, and decided to try to make a drawing in Gimp. That's when I drew Shadowman and Magnetman.

The tablet came with the license for a drawing program called ClipStudio Paint, and I tried to draw the next boss with it instead of Gimp. The results were Hardman and Sparkman. This time I also tried to paint the background, based on the boss fight rooms on the game.

Later I did Snakeman, which turned out to be my favorite drawing of them all.

I kept going and then I did Geminiman and Needleman.

And finally Protoman.

     After all of that, I made many other drawings, but I am kind of slacking a little bit with my drawings. I made many traditional drawings on my sketchbooks, trying to improve on the basics though. I like to think, looking at these drawings in a chronological order, that the effort payed the price. It's difficult for me to see if I really improved, but I at least like to look at all the bosses I drew in that year. Should I continue with thematic drawings and make other bosses of other games?

We need to continue!
