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 #110 - The force is strong with this one!

 


Today has been a tiresome, yet productive day. I feel I did the full package: I studied/practiced planes of the head (I'm start to memorize some different models though I'm not yet ready to integrate the study to reality), did shading, did something creative and finally (had almost forgotten it) did gesture/posture practice (body, hand and head). By the time I was doing the postures I was beat; I was on afterburners. Probably not the best way to study but I'm both happy that I did it, and that the results were decent for a deadbeat.

I'm leaving the best part for the end, since I feel that today's doodle, has been one of the best ever! It was prompted from the idea of a tree that some people on discord channel agreed upon and starting from the tree at the center/top, and the pagoda next to, it slowly became the whole scene that can be seen.

What do I like? Everything! The line,  the details, the colors, the shading, the local contrast, the perspective, the human figures, the meditating figures, the mountains, the birds, the tree-types, the branches. The narrative and the atmosphere above all!  Very comic-y, very much to my liking, very successful! Time for bed.
