day #365 - the end of an era

Image
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 #65 - Insomniac Self-Portrait to the rescue

So I got up early today. And the energy levels were high enough to allow me to paint another self-portrait. It's a successful one, albeit very rough (I have less than 60mins to finish it). It's starting to lose its novelty - I'm no longer impressed my my achievement. Anyway, what did I enjoy about it? I enjoyed shifting the palette; try and start with a base-color of green.

In the evening I didn't have to paint but then I remembered I am already on a 6 days streak on quickposes, so I thought I should at least take it to a 7th. So I tried to do 30 minutes; I did more hands than usual since these are faster, and didn't do any 3 minute studies, only 30seconds ones. I like that I'm improving at drawing hands, and mainly simplifying them, and how interesting the body-gestures come out. Enough for today.
