Oooh… For the next part of this project, I’m supposed to do at least 20 of these little upper body trapezoid figures & the instructor would love it if we did 100-200, & honestly having done, um, 5 so far, it’s gonna take 20+ to stop having to refer back to the lesson to remember it right, I think. They are NOT, however, very interesting to share, so I’m doing a post now to show you what I’m working on, and then…I am not going to subject you to the…
I haven’t forgotten my art project! I stayed up way too late finishing this Elfquest fan art last week, kind of to see if this entire project has helped any, and honestly? I think it has, at least some. I actually did a pretty good job on Moonshade’s face. Strongbow’s is too long and not wide enough, which is what I almost always do with Elfquest. I do not know how Wendy does it. She’s untouchable. But I’m really pleased with it. If only I could do it without copying,…
Holy crap! I accidentally finished the coursework! The last section was definitely an overview and only took a couple hours, and now I’m flabbergasted that I’m finished! I HAVE mentally committed to 100, so I’m going to do some more anatomy stuff, but good heavens! And the truth is that if I hadn’t done all the face/head work stuff, I’d have finished at about 80 hours, probably. Which is fine: I’d figured I would finish earlier than 100 hours, but even if it had taken me the whole 100, I…
I cannot believe I’m at eighty hours. Nearly done. That’s amazing. I’ve spent most of the past ten art hours on Loomis heads. They’re something I’ve been aware of but don’t remember ever being taught how to draw, and…it has been A Learning Curve. I wanted to internalize it so I can do it consistently and, y’know, hopefully well, at some point, so it’s gone kind of… I did the first assignment and it wasn’t TERRIBLE, but the second lesson was…well, it was the first time I felt that the…
Against all odds (as far as I’m concerned), I’ve hit the 50 hour mark in the 100 hours project. I genuinely figured I’d crap out in the first twenty hours or so & have been baffled by peoples’ supportive conviction that I would, although my friend Kate pointed out people are REALLY ACCUSTOMED to seeing me finish creative projects, which, true! But those are BOOKS! I start & fail OTHER creative projects in public all the time! I tell you what, though, I like this so much more than knitting.…
