On Hiatus

This is from about 3 weeks ago. Work is crushing me, so I'm only focusing on music for the time being. Will be back shortly...

9th October to 8th November

Starting to get the hang of this. I think I will move on to the next section of chapter 4.

8th October: 1 month's worth of sketch practice

Interestingly, I was asked few times today about how my sketching was going. Synchronicity or what? Well things are going very well, yet seemingly nowhere actually. I've been concentrating on the Vilppu Drawing Manual, and taking it slowly. Due to music now taking the bulk of my hobby time, I'm limiting my drawing practice mainly to my lunch breaks. No digital or natural media practice.

I thought I'd understood spherical forms well enough, but after hitting the later chapters, I realized I didn't really, and went back to the earlier chapters and kept up with the practice.

I think I'll be keeping up with this for awhile, and really don't relish day-to-day posting up of spheres and cubes.

Beautiful weather the last few days. Spent my lunch time today at soho square sketching the above.

As mentioned I'm overdrawing the older stuff in my sketchbook. Left page features the boxes I drew yesterday at lunch.

3rd/4th September 2012

Started on Chapter 3, box forms.

Vilppu Drawing Manual

This is what I'm working through at the moment, I don't think I want to post up what I'm drawing as I'm sketching in the white space of my current sketchbook, could get confusing. Mmm..

Oh, here's the link.

Will be taking a break from "art" for a bit; going to re-look at my basics.

I am laughing so hard! The difference  between sketching with and without ref for me is just so wide! This came about from watching some video tutorials from Stan Winston's online school. Will try to do quicksketches, one with ref, one without.

A visiting friend wanted to check out the Natural History Museum here in London, and apart from spending some time sketching usual exhibits, we also visited the "Animals Inside Out" exhibit. Here are some of them.
