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 #290 - Cheat day?

So, I didn't paint today, or maybe I did. Last night after going to bed I had another night of insomnia, and I managed to fall asleep at 9am. After giving up on sleeping, I picked up my ipad and started doodling in bed. Anyway, these were probably amonst my best doodling sessions. It's not that I did anything good looking, but I felt that my figures were very very alive, and my faces had some character and I even did some foreshortened characters. The second sheets was full of vehicles and buildings from different angles and I feel like I totally nailed it! I'm very satisfied with my "cartooning" for the day. I also did a test in an app called Heavy Paint. When I went to bed at 9am, I was so exhausted, but my hand was working so efficiently! To sum up, I'm happy with both figure drawing, and complex mechanical stuff in perspective and I also got a feeling that maybe I'm getting my breakthrough in character drawing and style!
