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 #72 - the rut



What can I say, it's turned it the least effort path: Doing daily "practice" and not having to be more creative. I've somehow managed to do gesture drawing early in the day which theoretically allows me to do something more creative in the evening, but what I end up doing is even more practice.

Anyway, let's say that for now this is the best I can do. It's something too; there is progress - Since discovered the new batches of photos, there are new and interesting poses. I am also focusing more to the specifics of the female body and I'm trying to get better at the anatomy, and better at simplifying too while retaining the sensuality.

Todays postures don't look as good as the ones I'm used to, but I feel it an improvement nonetheless. What else? I'm trying to produce cleaner silhouettes too hoping that one day, there won't be any excess lines.
