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 #109 - Planes of the head

 

And here it is! After two or three years of studying anatomy and construction of head, I'm finally decided to study the planes of the head! I checked proko's method, the loomis method and the asaro head. I'm confused. It all looks so complicated and to be honest I don't even know where to start from. It seems that these planes are not planar and thus not consistent in rotation. Then again, it's been day 1 of the efforts. I am calm knowing that I'll crack it, and worse case scenario I might have to ask somebody.

In any case today I did a few dozen studies (that I lost since the app crashed, but luckily there wasn't anything interesting in it) and later on to unwind I did a few lazy doodles in procreate.

What am I satisfied with? With learning something new and knowing that I'll eventually master it. At the same time, regardless of mastery over the planes, this will improve my heads in general! So today's success has been more on the inspiration, and "first step on a long journey" level. For now, I'm burnt - to much mental processing - time for rest.
