day #365 - the end of an era

Image
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 #270 - Doodleday

Today I tried photographing the finalized Complex Dynamics piece, but the weather didn't allow so I'll try again tomorrow. I did however do some work cleaning up my archive and in the process did revisit works from old. I'm somewhat happy seeing that my work from 2012-2016 no looks good in my eyes: that means I've improved! I can't say the same for my work from 2017 but then again maybe these things can be seen only from afar. I sure hope so!
Inspired by last night's speedy doodles, I decided to indulge in the same today aswell. Did numerous faces, creatures, scenes, all in all very satisfying. Though I feel my consistency lacking, and value compositions weak, I know it was only because I hadn't done any doodling in a long time; it wasn't only until the very end that I rememebered how much I like shading! In any case, I like the richness of designs, and the dynamicism in many of the postures and creatures and I'm surprised as always by how a few loose lines can give the impression of something very alive and specific! It's been two days in a row now, and I feel I need to stop again. I'm worried to go down that path of ipad drawing which consistently leaves me empty and demotivated.
