day #365 - the end of an era

I thought I was on top of it; I had finished early and was looking for a movie to watch already 3 hours ago. And I don't know how time went by. A phonecall, some networking studying, some online shopping and here we are, already past the time for an early movie. Regardless, today is a special day. The blog is over! I finished 365 days of daily painting and recording it, whatever that means. A big part of the process I will have to keep doing mainly for myself. Perhaps taking daily photos of my work and saving it on some folder. This has provem useful many times when I trying to date a piece I've been working on. Also making a small diary of today's achievements. It's still useful. But this will be done for my eyes only. I also don't know if I will be continuing my obsessively daily painting. How would life be if I had days off? Now for example that I'm moving out and I have to daily chores that until now were completely taken care of, perhaps I'll allow my

day #26 - The gamblers


I had a 14-hour-long workday, already time to head to bed when I remembered I still had to draw for the day. I took out my brushpen and my cheap notebook. I started doodling figures in extreme angles - The figures were good in themselves, but the figures were not properly aligned with one-another. I'm not sad about that, I was already pushing it to the limit - both extreme angles, and extreme postures - the I decided to build the scene. I started with the beam purely for compositional purposes; then the mice, the light fixture and I started blocking in shadows. I was looking for a bottom to top light emanating from the center of the table. I'm happy for lots of stuff. I like the composition; I like the two opposite figures. And a complete conincidence, the light fixture hid lots of the wonky parts and the shadows, hid the rest; as a result you can't see the problematic positioning in space of some characters!

Anyway, now I need to go to bed.
