I tried to perfect the circular motion as much as I could yesterday, but today I took it in hand and gave it a good spanking. The full penance would be to have a runner and a walker moving side by side but I am resting today. Crazy yeti with no clothes will however wander in a circle forever as we the viewer are compelled to have a double take until we look away. The Human CentipedeMy mother reading the christmas card list and my dad holding two tomatoes. I tried drawing my mother before christmas, got her to sit for me for about an hour and yet it was impossible to draw her then. She was too self conscious and put up an unconscious barrier made of her thoughts- or she just wouldn't relax (all her fault you notice). This time she was unaware and it was much easier to draw her likeness. I was just looking at the portraits I did at that market and they are terrible. People were talking to me as I worked and I was on the spot performing on demand. This doesn't produce good art. How particular it all is.
Now that I mentioned it I could post some portraits I did of my father which are quite nice from when we were on a train journey together to London and the ones I refer to of my mother which are terrible if you mean likeness wise but still they capture something, as all drawings do. (If you click read more you can see) (Animating again after long hiatus.) I am a wicked wicked giantess. There must be a pair of shorts along the way somewhere. You may look at him more closely by clicking on the window he is running in, if you care to do so.
This topic just keeps returning to challenge my it seems rather fragile ego and will continue to do so I expect until I have a healthy bob once more. Though I suppose it could happen that I grow to like my what is now a pixie cut very much, though waking up with a flat patch on the back of my head every morning is rather annoying.
In a brutish attempt to ensure I draw every day I have/am declared/ing this my intention publicly here and elsewhere.
#1 This is is my sweet, imperious and handsome cat. This is the first drawing of 2014. I hereby disclaim the consistency or quality of the following images as my art is heavily dependent on my mood so I will just give you what comes and you can like it. It is all filled to the brim and it is all equal. |
