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 #185 - Lockdown v2

Today, first day of the second lockdown I went walking (funnily, during the lockdown I'm going for walking whereas normally I'm spending time indoors). This was good for my health and VitaminD levels but it meant that I had to do my daily drawing/painting in the evening. Now it's 2am and I still haven't managed to wrap up. Anyway, today I spent most of my time finishing a female 3D model on my Quest 2 that I had started yesterday. While (again) this isn't painting, it feels relevant since it's inline with my practice in skull anatomy and proportions. I'm quite satisfied with the result and I feel I solidified my understanding about the lips, eyes and nose a tad more. Later on I did some sketches in Procreate and called it a day at that.
Overall I'm satisfied with my anatomy work, wheras the sketches have a boldness that probably comes from the past few weeks working on large canvases. Many things felt in place too (the faces, the bodily gestures, the detail control and the perspective - perhaps due to my time spent sculpting in VR or simply because of the pent up energy.
