Fedodika the Koala

[Fedodika]

Whew, today was mind blowing. I started out the day, and i said hey i need to see where im at with anatomy, like the most basic thing, which would be a standing pose. I started entirely from imagination and i was just struggling so much it was embarassing. So about 80% through, I didnt notice my power was low and it cut out, corrupting the file lol

So i got kinda pissy and said, "what was that thing tehmeh talked about like doing a 2 hr imagination sketch and patching up the holes." I didn't properly do that before, so i gave it a shot. I combined that with a rigney suggestion of intensely observing an image and then recreating it from memory, the correcting it and HOLY MOLY. Very very very cool thing to do. I had no clue how objective of a system that could be. You come face to face with everything you didnt nail. I felt like i was just learning, and taking in things consciously and critically, in a very different way than usual. And now i feel like i have that knowledge in a much more permenant sense. 

For instance i drew in this memory sketch the legs a certain way and after seeing the reference i conciously said, "Never doing that again." So many of the thoughts going through my head in images are, "I dont want it to look like i think that's good." or hankering to a skill level that isnt desirable. so many theories developing...

Definitely gonna get this in the repertoire, hopefully will help fedo get from good to great soon (koala fingers crossed!)
