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

Quickly quickly to wrap up for today: I did some extensive practice, and yet there hasn't been much creative stuff,  mostly practice. However, I've reentered that space where my hand is warmed-up. Today I've been drawing for more than 4h so this could be related to the quantity. Anyway, what positives can I identify? Postures were good; It's as if all muscle stuff is falling into place; and I even did a few 5 minute postures. Some are very niceActually I enjoyed the process a lot today since I was doing on youtube some alive models as opposed to static photographs. Hand postures were also good though I still haven't found the time to study some method; I'm still winging it.

Since I had lots of time today, I did some doodles, many of which were quite interesting, including some nice vehicle designs, some foreshortened people, fabrics and flip-flops. I even did some architectural perspective which is good since I hadn't done anything in a long time.

I'm worried about two things - not using color (or shading) and never finishing anything: just doodling incomplete pieces. I am happy however about the ease with which I'm drawing and it feels as if I could draw anything (if only I had some idea)!
