Good morning, afternoon or evening! (Depending on where in the world you are....And when you read this). Last night I had only two hours of sleep. I came home from school on Monday (my first day of the semester) and started painting and drawing right away. As I was home alone for the evening, time went by so fast that all of a sudden I had been working for 7 hours straight (with just a bite to chew on). I got so into art mode that I could not fall asleep once I finally got to bed. I kept picturing different motifs and methods of making illustrations and animations. Now I have so many ideas, it is left to see if I manage to get some of them out here for "show and tell". I went to my morning class where my teacher talked about fundamental American questions, the constitution, the bill of legislation, rights, what being a citizen really mean, and how this all ties back to what made America -well, America. Here is a drawing I drew of my teacher while he was talking. The lines are blind (meaning that I looked at my teacher an not down on the paper). It should be said that I peeked down at the paper while drawing in the shadows. Art school is wonderful, I don't get yelled at for sketching while the teacher is talking. (Yes this one goes out to you Mrs. Math teacher back in high school.) My mind is much more present and focused when my pen get to doodle.
Mr. Eder and "the five nouns that made America"
After class I got to catch up with an old and dear friend, the piano. Our school now has a piano on campus. What a joy! I was thinking of completely giving up playing music in total since I haven't been able to find a piano I could borrow to play on (while not bothering anyone), that is, until this very day! Conclusion: I'm good.
Above is an illustration I believe I posted earlier this year (May?) Although this one has a minor adjustment I think makes a major improvement. Can you tell what the adjustment is?
