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 #226 - Rotring Sketchday

Today I finally photographed and fixated the heartmonster (the heart of the heart without a heart) and did some sketching using my backup (old) pentel pocketbrush. I refilled it with rotring drawing ink and seems to be working fine. I don't know if it will clog eventually, and flow is not the best but so far so good. I don't know if it was the novelty but for sure I did some satisfying sketches; from landscapes, to characters, to machiens, even the simple ones turned out good. Perhaps the thought of cheap ink was very invigorating! I'd like to focus a bit more on studying the head again and doing some sketches from life.
Overall I'm satisfied and inspired with doing more ink drawings. Now I'm going to run an experiment: I found myself really resentful that it's 4pm and I'm still cropping and editing the sketches from today so I won't continue and won't upload them today. I'd rather get some entertainment.
Here are finally the scans, though I'm not sure nothing is missing; only six? I doubt it! Indeed, two are missing. Ah, no time for that now. Some other time. It all boils down to two facts: The blog has to stop sooner rather than later, and I need to find a better criterion of what to archive and what not!
