And here I thought that I had succeeded in "taking a day off". What a fool, I got tricked. I thought I should relax since I was was starting getting resentful and feelings of repulsion towards "drawing" which I've lately come to related to having overworked myself.
I started my day with studying the planes of the head (today I went back to the reilly method and the asaro head) and when I decided not to draw, instead stop after I some gesture, posture and hand practice.
Yeap, I effectively took the day off from the only thing that might had been redeeming in painting: doodling and creating. And instead, I focused on practice and study, which after all is what I've been mostly doing all these days.
Well done dummy.
Anyway, what am I happy about today? Quite a few things, unrelated to artmaking (oh, some are; I got some art supplies my mail today but haven't opened them since I am waiting 3 days for covid19 to die on the surfaces of the supplies - hah, this 2020 reality; who knows what the future readers might understand from that).
Regarding the asaro heads, I'm satisfied that I'm starting to understand the meaning of rythm lines and to fold them in 3D space. Regarding the gestures, I'm glad that I remembered to continue my "skeleton-less practice"; those efforts that I started (and gave up) trying to flesh out the characters without firstly drawing a skeleton. Line confidence too. Hands were so-so today.
Overall, I'm glad I'm starting to understand the planes of the head, and that I now have new art materials to work with!
