I've decided I'm going to finish my stopmotion film, which is happening over at my Darkmatters blog. Hoping to get that done somewhere around the end of the year. But I can't really start yet because there's no power in the studio due to some unknown problem - and apparently electricians are extremely busy just before Labor day. So I've been able to draw a bit.
Wanted to loosen up and use the edge of the pencil more - draw like Kevin Chen (Kchen). Only had a few free minutes though.
I epoxy-puttied a 3/8-20 nut into the base of my Dick Blick skull - fortunately the socket for the Atlas (topmost vertebra) was the perfect size/shape for it. Now I can secure it on a tripod for drawing from any angle. Sweet!!
Only had a few minutes on this one too, while I was waiting for the electric company to come over and tell me that the problem isn't on their side - it's definitely in my house and will probably be expensive.
I wanted to show that my warmup sheets are improving. My circles look pretty circular now.
They've looked like this for 2 days now, could be a trend. I guess the "Practice Everyday, Grow Skills" thing actually works. So maybe one day my ellipses will look better..
From last night. I screwed up and wrote an 8 instead of a 9 for the date on this and the last one - oops! Pretty happy with this one though. My hand actually seems to be a lot steadier now drawing all upside-down and backwards. Gaining control. Also oddly, did no construction for this and the proportioning looks better than most of the ones where I do (though the hairline would be above the top of the head - guess I made the cranium a bit small).
Oh, I don't think I've mentioned the way I'm approaching Watts now, have I? I'm currently offline - let my subscription run out after one month, and I'm taking a couple months to practice what I picked up. Why be spending money every month, when 1 on 2 off will work just as effectively?
