Let’s start with a change of plans. I’ve not been able to draw as much for Yellow as I would have liked to in the past few months, but will now backtrack and continue it (perhaps not as planned but I will push on!). There won’t be as many dailies as the past three pages, but rest assured these will continue for as long as I have access to both internet and scanners (I’ve had neither for a while now). Slight warning before we start: THIS IS A LONG POST, but Yellow pages always

Wednesday; New Knitting Nudes on A Great Day.

I’ll start and scream because I STILL HAVE NO INTERNET. I drew with coloured pens on Monday and they made me unbearably happy. I also started using graphites and pencils again and it was great. I decided to disregard all the drawing things I’d learned just for a bit and shade the hell out of everything that I had time to shade and it turned out pretty great so I think that’s a success. I had a lot of food that day. The sun was nice and laundry was done and when the day finish

I started the week with German and a trip to Macleay. It was a little bizarre being on a campus of a university I’d never really previously considered even attending, in a class I’m not taking, with a bunch of animators who were, drawing in a place that I’d drawn last year. I didn’t draw much, but what I did draw ended up proving to myself that I’ve definitely improved. If I could handle looking at my drawings from the same place last year I would do a comparison, but frankly

Let me tell you about few little things. I really don’t particularly care for rabbits, but perhaps I’ll put up the animations in another post.. Once I’m happy enough with them. I’ll put them on my sketchblog for now. I must have drawn 20 pages of rabbits, which is lucky because I didn’t have enough time to draw three times that as per usual, but nonetheless it got done. Rabbits really make no sense. I’ve been pensive and broken lately but soon enough I’ll be back on my feet i

Let’s go back to the Arthouse. It’s been much too long since I’ve been back at my life drawing sessions. The first few pages were shamefully rusty, and even the better drawings are nothing like what I used to manage within the same amount of time. Nevertheless, I’m back there. I don’t expect myself to be just as good as I was at the beginning of the year, but I’ll be taking the next two weeks pretty much off of the other subjects to practice again because life without naked f

We’ll start at Edward. A while ago a high school friend asked me to draw her something for her wall, and I began sketches of Edward Scissorhands. And something like six months later I have enough sketches of Edward to make a post, so here’s the previews of Edward’s face, Mary my dear. Some are quite rough, but there are several where I’m trying to find his face (which pretty much involves drawing him over and over until I get him right). Trying to find the right medium is the

Saturday; Two Units

I begin with an apology. I haven’t blogged in a while and my excuse is that I’m taking two extra units this semester and it’s close to strangling me. German is a bit crazy and International Studies is slowly dragging me down, but I now have two weeks of break to concentrate on Vivid and on drawing in general, so here are some pages of my past few lectures and breaks. On the 6th of April I went to the doctors and because it was a Saturday the waiting list was about an hour or

Friday There were so many Chinese tourists I thought I was back in China. MovieWorld is quite small in area. They fit a lot in somehow. We didn’t do much. I slept ridiculously early, it was dumb. Saturday Halfway through the day it started to pour. Popcorn will fix my problems. I’ve wanted ice cream all day but now it’s too cold for satisfaction. Dear Australia Weather, if I cease all my mood swings, will you too? Sunday Sitting on the beach to draw sounds alright but there a

We’ll start with Animation. Let me write you an essay about how much I love it. As far as I’m concerned, Animation is what everything in my life has ever led to. It’s the point that every line of connection in my life has ever guided me towards, and joins all the joys of my existence into a single, fanatic, glowing kind of subject; which sounds horribly tight and narrow-minded, but I can’t imagine any other way of looking at it. I spent years of my life wanting to sing or dan

Let’s begin with hair. Those of my head, in particular. I cut my hair last week. I am not exaggerating in the slightest when I say that it was one of the best decisions of my past few years. I have missed my short hair years. I missed the short time it takes to dry, the weightlessness upon my head, the coolness on my neck, the amount of hair clips and hairbands I can use without needing to deal with everything else and the whole package, really. I feel like everything is righ

Wednesday; Texting Messages [page01]

Let’s begin with text. Many moons ago during those dystopian high school years wherein I was a highly flammable youngling, I discovered the magic of text messaging. Life has not been the same since. I am still (proudly) on prepaid mobile phone credit, and probably won’t change over to a plan any time soon even though I am now employed, simply because I will probably end up spending my whole paycheck on paying back the bill. To put it simply: I use my phone a lot. I text back
