Another bum night.

Absolutely nothing of note came out of tonight's 6 hour reminder of why tend to take such long hiatuses from art. Started out with a new concept - the skill loss in figure drawing was frustratingly very apparent. Maybe it's not loss, but more a conversion problem, with forcing myself to learn to draw digitally.

To try and change pace to prevent burnout already, I want back to the WIP from yesterday. Decided to try to figure out to shade with this thing - granted an eye was probably not the best place to start with that, but that's what I picked. It went... 'ok'. Not happy with the results yet, but if digital has anything over traditional, it's being able to delete/hide layers if you don't like something. I'll have to find some good youtube tutorials on this stuff and probably just go back to the basics - balls and blocks. Take this a little slower like a classroom setting, instead of just jumping right in.

Because this is an art blog, and nothing of note or interest came from tonight's extra long session... here's a sketchbook fox from the last time I tried getting back into art.

  2. Google photos doesn't like me I guess. I do the same process for each image and it seems hit or miss which ones show up. They all show up for me, so I have no idea they don't work till someone tells me. Going to switch back to imgur - now that my display issue is corrected, I'm not running into any real issues there.
