Kbarr: Hey thanks man! I agree, though i wont be bothering with it anymore lol
Noodle: It's called... CHEATING! Photos basically haha
So i dropped out of the contest because it was reallys stressing me out. I probably would have been better off had i entered it about two weeks ago when it started. Plus looking at the other entries made me feel like my attempts were futile. I noticed i do something Will terrell talked about people who are "good" but not "great" Is that "Sometimes you try to have a gimmick to make people like your work like you give them a funny hat or have a weird angle on it." I noticed all my ideas were kinda like that.
"It's a Coral, but it's a PENTAGRAM!"
"It's a merman, but with a GOAT HEAD!"
Meanwhile the other entries are just cool shapes and look a million times better than mine because fundamentals. I can't wait till i can make my corny ideas and they just look awesome because fundamentals. Also i shouldn't be painting and should do more drawing for sure.
So i got back to Loomis, AKA the bane of my existence. I decided this december i should just really focus on absurdly simple concepts until i can flawlessly draw them. Just the sheer amount of screwy lines and struggling i go through drawing a basic loomis head lay in is embarassing and says a LOT about where I'm at. almost 5 years of drawing my balls off giving 110% in the most unorthodox zig zag pattern to level 1. Happens with anything i do so i shouldnt be surprised.
So my goal is to hit 1000 of these to make sure i can draw them tight and fluently from any angle. Should take a few days, but the most rudimentary things in art help everything so much and it can only be worth it. They are definitely better at 125 compared to the first one for sure, so after about 800 or so more they should be very tight, as long as i'm concentrating. That and i have developed the "eye" to see how they "should" look so that should be interesting.
Also going through proko's head drawing stuff (premium) and liking the 3d model he has set up as a Loomis head, its a big help.
I think my biggest problem is i over intellectualize and overthink things and second guess myself a lot, end up being really shifty and all over the place because that is the curse of intelligence. I want to improve the fastest way, but I've studied debate and philosophy a lot and its made me second guess and question everything and ends up hurting me.
I wonder what all the color anatomy and composition i DO know is all worth, because without whatever this thing I'm lacking in, it doesnt feel like its worth peanuts. Here I go intellectualizing it again lol.
I feel like its time to be the succesful bonehead I'd always felt i was above. I'm gonna do Loomis till it hurts and get this stuff over with (never ending journey.) And then move into also super basic figure stuff like the bean and robo bean stuff proko has for premium as well. And try to avoid painting as much as possible!
