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 #179 - VRoom!

So this was it today! I decided not to go to the studio and instead go for a hot chocolate. Later I finished modelling the 3D car in Gravity Sketch and did some ink sketches in my cheap notebook that I haven't done for quite some time. I feel a bit strange including the 3D model here since I was focusing on "drawing" and "painting" and outside the initial sketching phase that I did yesterday, this wasn't about drawing so probably I should keep it like that here. But today I wont.

What did I enjoy about today? The fact that I didn't go to the studio, the fact that I resisted doing "a [watercolor] painting instead" and simply did some doodling. Of course I'm worried. Worried that now I've broken the streak and who knows whether I'll be able to pick up "painting" again or I will be dragged into some months of "doodling" or "iPad head-drawing-practice. I'm worried that the fascination of 3D on my Oculus Quest is too strong and I will be having a hard time on focusing on more Lo-Fi techniques.
