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 #81 - Captain slog

I was hoping I'd go to bed early - by 1:30am I was already sleepy and pretty much done. Then I ended up on skype, and 1h of gesture practice and here we are, once again ..late.

It's still "okay". How long has it been since I last watched a movie? Six days. It's not that much, but then again it isn't very little either. It hasn't bothered me thus far, I hadn't even thought about it, but I can see it down the road. It seems to be a pattern; I get overworked and no fun, and then I slowly start resenting it. Let's see how the next posts are.

Anyway, regarding the day's work, I did the "pencils" and the "inks" of the panels that I was meant to do. I'm satisfied with them; I love the pencils so much more than the inks actually; I wish I didn't have to be too tight, and stay loose! Come to think about it, I haven't included them here though supposedly I include everything. Then again, I only include what is visible; and the pencils are hidden.

Anyway, what do I like? I I like lots of stuff, the framing of the top right panel, the fun little details, the fact that I was given a topic and a partial story and something nice came out of it! I like the dynamic lines, the compositions. I enjoyed doing the gestures and later on the postures where I didn't use a skeleton, but went straight to the silhouette. Time for bed...
