I accidentally forgot to blog yesterday, but that's no big deal because nothing exciting happened yesterday anyway.

Today, I worked further on some anatomy. I'm quite satisfied with how the sketches came out. They're all out of a bunch of Vanity Fair magazines lying around in the STAC room.

My two favorite ones are the one in the upper right corner and the woman who's leg is propped up on a box. They just feel the most natural to me out of all of them. Oh yeah, I also really like how I drew the man's left leg (my left)! I successfully got the perspective quality down. Yes, they could use some more work, but I'm much more comfortable and I'm getting faster with more accurate results. There's this huge anatomy book I have on my bookshelf that I keep forgetting to bring into STAC- I'll make sure to bring it in tomorrow.

As you can see, I'm also totally avoiding drawing faces. This is because I'm scared of messing it up and just being generally unhappy with it. That being said, I'll have to tackle it eventually. But for now, I'll try to master the feel of the body rather than the face.

I've done some research on Egon Schiele since the whole single-lined sketches I'm aiming for is reminiscent of his work. I can describe him as a very horny and perverted genius. I absolutely LOVE the way that his lines curve and bend, taking on a life of their own. The way that his lines seems so sure of themselves...how they lack any hint of hesitation. It's incredible. Hopefully with enough [correct] practice, I can achieve a level of artistry such as his.

As for my major individual project, I think I'm just going to stick to my original plan and make a light installation. I had tremendous trouble figuring out simple tasks (as Luke knows) like measuring the dimension of the lights (21.5 x 4......something. Dammit, I'll have to remeasure that.) I was practically a baby in a diaper. It was embarrassing, but it's okay. I blame my lack of mobility on the weather and my mood.

I will probably work more on my side salad in the upcoming days, since that's what I'm more interested as of now.
