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 #277 - Double doodle

Today I got my original apple pencil back and wanted to test it out. Perhaps this was just an excuse so that I don't start any new piece; though truth be told I finally fixated the piece called complex dynamics, signed it and did the very very enjoyable equivalent to unwrapping/unboxing a new toy: removed the dirty masking tape from around and seeing it in its full glory! It's always an exciting momen, seeing the piece you had been working on for so long, with different eyes and this gave me lots of inspiration to start something new!
I also did lots of maintainance stuff, going through my large artworks and putting them in order. It was very exciting seeing my work from that period after so many months of them being hidden away! How I wish I could work big again!
In any case, today's work was iPad work. Unlike yesterday that I did disorganized stuff, today I focused on more complete scenes; I did lots of perspective stuff; from characters with foreshortening, vevicles, beast, fish, monuments, statues to a very nice lighthouse scene. Very comixy stuff. I also got to remember how interesting it is to be painting inside boxes. Time for rest.
