THERE ARE TWO PARTS TO THIS BECAUSE THERE ARE TOO MANY PHOTOS FOR MY PHONE TO HANDEL SO PLEASE STAY TUNED =========== click or right arrow to advance left arrow to go back this is my sketchbook starting aug 2021 to june 2022. i doodled a lot during class. =========== Ah, my old sketchbook. Every time I look at it I want to puke and laugh at the same time. Still, it's really nice to go through once in a while because I worked so hard on some of the drawings and I have improved a lot over the year. I thought this dump would be fitting since 2022 is almost over and now I could put this stuff behind me. Warning: this is VERY CRINGE art and has since been improved. Also, A LOT OF THESE WERE DURING THE PEAK OF MY ANGSTY SHOSTAKOVICH PHASE so do be warned there is a lot of shosty. Also TW: there isn't any violence or gore but there is depictions of smoking in some (because its shosty) =========== 1. my first drawing, i just decided to sketch shosty and proko because i thought i was cool for having quality paper 2. my original design of etude, original design of obo reed, and low-effort liszt 3. the first time i drew strava (ever) honestly it isn't too bad loll 4. i tried to draw mozart in a different style but kind of failed 5. i tried to redraw a meme i found online 6. loll prototype design of Allegro (she was just going to be a random 1st violin side character) and redesign of Etude. (i kind of forgot about this while designing Allegro) and proko 7. shosty and proko. i enjoyed putting weird symbols in their eyes and then coming up with some edgy lore for it. its really cringe and doesn't fit my style anymore but hmm fortea lore??? 8. mahler doodle i still kind of like and genshin shosty (he would be cryo) 9. tall composers (soviet duo and rachmaninoff comic) 10. jar of honey (unfinished soviet duo and strava comic) 11. a very detailed holst ref (that i still might use for fortea or in general) 12. the origin of discount holst (my friend and i imagined if holst was our band teacher instead of discount holst since they are similar) 13. glasses gang (I was so proud of this and i still like schubert and czerny but the rest of them ehhhh) 14. ew more old obo reed, carl maria von weber, bartok, mendy, and wagner being with cosima liszt hans von bulow being angry (or liszt???) and liszt crying in the background 15. etude's new ref 16. orchestra alphabet 17. more orchestra alphabet 18. oboe gang lyrics 19-21. redrawing memes i found online 22. quarter and eighth rest i colored with my friend's crayola markers 23. composer modern au designs (i might actually use this for fortea) hmm i smell fortea mahler's design 24. shosty with his kids (photo i redrew) 25. shosty composing (also photo i redrew) 26. random mouth doodles and idek what that is in the left corner loll 27. music pick up lines (still working on) 28. etude 29. i was reading symphony for the city of the dead wile drawing this and im sure you can tell i didn't know how clothing folds work (tbh i still don't really know) 30. boba tea composers (this was before fortea existed) 31. discount holst (censored stuff for privacy) 32. this when i decided to make fortea a thing 33. classicaloid holst 34. alma mahler 35. out of context composers 36. when mom isn't home meme but with english duo 37. we watched harry *cough dmitri* potter *cough shostakovich* in band 38. fortea doodles 39. badly drawn liszt 40. fireman shosty (redrew a photo and im still kind of proud of this) 41. oh don't worry the guy next to allegro is supposed to be second violinist 42. shosty ptsd flashbacks 43-46. fortea bios/concept stuff if you've reached this far congrats tell me which ones i should maybe redraw and stay tuned for part 2 and also stay tuned on your instrument or obo reed will come for you
