I'm still alive! Been a little lazy on the posting. My apologies. Anyway, hope everyone is doing well. I've been prepping for my trip to San Francisco! That's right! I'm finally going to San Fran! And it was actually my wonderful beautiful amazing girlfriend's idea! Things have been so busy I've been trying to fit some drawing in. Unfortunately, I'm not getting as much in as i'd hoped, but i've done what I can.
I had a major battle with artist's block all weekend and did some Audrey Hepburn doodles to try to get out of it. Not sure why weekends do that to me. I guess my mind keeps telling me it's rest time, but I want to just keep going. Gotta take a break every once in a while. The other sketchbook drawings are of some steampunk ideas I've been coming up with. I have a flying/rpg game floating around in the back of my head. Need some Character development though.
My painting class is going very well and I am learning to just throw color on instead of just dabbing some paint here and there. Still trying to get that saturation thing goin. Saturation is hard with paint. You kinda just have to throw on a pile of pure cadmium pigment and hope it doesn't mix in.
I've been watching Richard Keye's Color Theory video and have been getting my mind blown away. Thank you Chris! So many things weren't taught to me in school. I hope I can use some of this knowledge in my painting class and at work. I'm also going through some of my old Loomis books. I've already forgotten so much, and I haven't even read some of them. I need to start going through Eye of the Painter.
Until next time!
