So what happens now that I've crossed 100 days? I don't know. I don't what will allow me to conclude this "infinite days challenge". Anyway, I keep moaning about it. Let's move on to something else. So today I did some 20x 45sec postures, 20x 30sec gestures and 4x 5min postures and finally 20x 45sec hand studies. I'm happy with all of it. I still struggling to simplify but I feel there is life into the postures/gestures - though come to think about it, I didn't really do gestures today; I did mostly quick skeletons. Doing the postures was more exciting and I'm quite happy with most of them. I had the opportunity to work with the male body and nail down some muscles. Finally hands have been considerably better that other days. To wrap up I did some skulls trying to regain the ability to draw them I'm quite happy with most of them; It was obvious that I had already warmed up by that time; hands and bodies were alive and fast. I even did some exciting ones like the dancing fat people, the bandit and fishman. Then I tried some vehicle designs and some landscapes with beasts and finally a temple complex. I like most the fact that (and this is not the first time) that some times my hand is "warm". I don't know after how much time it is ready (could be somewhere between 30mins to 3h of preparation or something unrelated to time) but there is definitely a state that the hand is more "aligned" and "tuned" to my inner eye than normally. This has nothing to do however with creativity, or the ability to do beautiful stuff; merely with mind-to-hand coordination.
To wrap up, I'm happy I did this much practice today, that certain things are falling to place (I've even managed to draw thin legs) and how I'm discovering the body at a deeper level. Now I'm more worried about the cleanliness of my lines but I have not decided whether it's important (or even how to approach it).
