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 #321 - Countdown

Today though I was planning on doing something other than sketching I didn't have to opportunity, so here I am, sketching again. I did 14 sketches with my brushpen. These were not the most successful ones, but I did a lot of good things: Some postures that I likes, interesting props, good hands, I did some observations around me and created a light/dark piece, a bit of narrative too. I enjoyed letting loose, and some of it was completely subconscious. I also did two female portraits that I like a lot; though not perfect, they have a certain charm. Finally I did a bit of nice smoke. Instead of photographing them, I scanned them with my new scanner. Took me a lot of time and I am not too happy with the results but I don't know if it were slower that using the camera and then editing the images. Actually, it might had been; but with a little overhead I did a final scan. My god, my work feel a lot when it comes to scanning it, but not enough when it comes to consuming/posting/curating it. Anyway, overall I'm glad that I work a bit more with sketching today, and primarily I'm proud that for another day, I did my dues.
