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 #102 - the mindless doodler

 


Today has been pretty relaxed! I didn't do any long pose studies (long as in 2min) but I did my dues in 30 and 45sec ones. I did hands too. Some of the postures (such as the two in second line's first block) I like a lot and the really small ones are nice too; they convey the posture! Hands have been improving nowadays most figures have decent hands (which was the exception a few years ago).

The  second sheet is some random thought; skulls/heads, random postures, random characters, vehicles and buildings. Lots to like here; the principal sitting on his chair, the guy with the sandals, the girl, but most of all these very dreamy illustrations at the last panel; of alien landscapes and lost civilizations! They give me a strange mixture of fine arts and comics vibe - the thick outline, the contrast! Feels like Van Gogh, meets moebius!


Overall quite satisfied, and the fact that I was doing these while casually chatting on discord, made them even more fun and less stressful. Looking forward to more doodling, though I'd like to pick up color!
