i am indeed alive.
went figure drawing today, boy was I in a mood. i was not too thrilled to have the same model as last week. i did not feel that she was very exciting but i kept it to myself and was amped about drawing anyway. because i knew that this model was going to do sustained boring poses i decided to go into the session completely care free and just attack the drawings. i had fun and learned a lot and out of the thirty or so drawings that i did, the only legible drawings are the 6 that i am posting. if she looks like she is smiling in any of the drawings, she is. i think this was because she was getting $20 an hour to lay on her side for three hours. i imagine this is what she does at home, just add a television. she has a scam going on. can't believe each session is $15.
where are you living? WHat are you up to? It's cool that you are taking figure drawing classes - the linework looks solid on these. And I see what you mean about the model - her poses aren't terribly interesting. But it's still drawing from a live model which is great!
Talk to your family about what you do and expect them to cheer you on.
Base the success of your entire career on one project.
Stick with what you know.
Undervalue your expertise
Let money dictate what you do.
Bow to Societal Pressures.
Only do work that your family would love.
Do whatever the client/customer/gallery owner/patron/investor asks.
Set unachievable/overwhelming goals. To be accomplished by tomorrow.
thank you, Starbuck!
