Still working

Filled in some details for the figure today. I vowed that I would start using a brush for inking but a broke down and busted out the microns for the small details. Maybe I need to break down and buy a good brush for inking. I should do some research. I'm trying to keep the lines thick to avoid any printing issues. Here's the wip

Creative day

Actually woke up before noon and had a beautiful day. A little gratitude goes a long way and I am working on centering myself and staying positive.  Focusing on what I want and visualizing it. I'm beginning to discover just how powerful visualization can be. There is so much beauty and mystery in this world and I want to discover it.
I took my dog roxy out today and we wondered around the woods behind my house. Found some really cool stuff for shadow boxes. Nature inspires me.
After that I came home and started inking my piece. Got the part filled in and now I need to go in and get the fine lines. I like how it is coming along.

Back from vacation

I've been out of town for awhile so I haven't got the chance to sit down and draw. I woke up this morning aching to work on this piece. Today I cleaned everything up and made the drawing I'm going to ink. Basically I had the messy drawing that had the sketchy parts in it and I put it on the light table to make a clean version. If everything goes right I will start inking it tomorrow. No more messing around. I need to take advantage of my break

Back in the workspace

Everything is finally finished for school *Round of applause. Its weird bc without anything due I really don't know what to do w myself.
I have been working on my new print. Feels good bc I haven't given my art desk some love in awhile. I like sitting down and drawing. Haven't done that in so long. I have layed out the pencil work. Going to clean it up and ink it soon.

Do or die time. The final stretch

It has been an intense day. I have been non stop. Woke up and worked on the sculpture. Got the wire frame done and strated to wrap it up in fabric. My goal it to cover it in Gel medium and fabric stiffener until it is super hard. After that I will give it a coat of Gold paint. After class I grabbed some amazing yellow curry from a Thai truck :)



Set up the layout for my book cover. Everything looked good on the computer, however when I printed it out it looked pixilelated. I decided to say fuck it and talk to my teacher about wheat I did wrong. Most likely the resolution got messed up along the way. I wanted to get this done so I wont have to worry about it, however it isn't due for another week, thank god. We are going to learn how to cut down and bind a book. Looking forward to learning how to make a legit book that looks like something you can get off the shelves. Maybe I can make my own one day.


On a side note, I went to Jerrys today to pick up some book binding glue. Also got two large screens, a big container of photo emulsion, screen cleaner, and some screen hinges. I have absolutely no time to print now. However I have everything bought for when finals are over. So happy. 
Got home and mounted my Film poster. My living room is a mess with scraps and tracing paper. However it is finished. Going to do my final critique tomorrow. I'm thinking I have looked at it too much to the point where I am focusing on little stuff. However, my whole class is frazzled and getting caught up in small details. I will like it more in the morning when I look at it with fresh eyes. One class down. Two more to go.
