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 #276 - Discord!

So after a long long time, I logged back onto discord and did some freestyle doodling. I notice now that there is a lot of performance anxiety related to it, something I wasn't really aware until now. I wonder how it will be on the day that I feel I don't need to prove anything and just doodle for the fun of it, while enjoying company.

Faces and postures were coming out awkward throughout but I guess that's the price of not practicing for a long time. In any case I'm pleased that I did a bit of recap, from composition, perspective, to gestures, creatures, hands, heads, monochrome shading and silhouettes and I also got to advance a bit in my spooky branches-painting technique (seen in the black probe at the bottom right of the sheet just above the rider).
