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 #284 - Verticality

Today I did the above 3-point perspective scene. I wasn't knowing where it was getting when I started and to be honest I don't think I'll be resuming it, but it was nice for exercise! I'm quite satisfied with it; usually my attemps reach a point that something (some error along the way, or the accumulation of tiny errors) doesn't work and I have to give it up. Plus, this time I had 3-4 different sets of vanishing points on the same plane which I rarely manage to pull off, mainly because of the previous issue - It usually falls apart on the first set, before I get the chance to play around with more vanishing points. I'm truly proud of how I pulled of the complexity of it.
Another source of satisfaction is the fact that I revisited perspective; it was a technical drawing day, something I hadn't time in a long time and yet I feel I need to keep it alive; I'm also cultivating a sense of intuition about perspective which I hope will allow me to stop the analytical approach. Today also did some frame-by-frame animated doodles and a bit of funny vehicle (ideation) design in VR but nothing worthy the exporting and uploading process; you'll forgive me for that. It was a rich day, time for rest.
