Fedodika the Koala

[Fedodika]

whew, watched a lot of watts today, i was peeking into the figure course, and it looks promising :). Was raining all day so i didnt get the chance to run or workout so if miss that i end up feeling terribly lazy lol, anyways got some more rendering on my chloe sevigny thing, maybe 1 hr.

I feel weird like, when i render, i want to carry my calligraphy from what im learning from watts but i end up just using the tools im used to, albeit more efficiently. I guess in digital its more effort to try and replicate the markings of traditional when its so convenient to use the big and highly intelligent brushes to get everything down. That and i probably havent developed enough a taste for the charcoal style to "think" in that mindset of mark making. 

Life drawing this friday was also frustrating, I didn't get one drawing i was satisfied with, and couldnt pull a good line for the life of me. The really beautiful model took this pose, high above us with this cool back light getting behind her hair, it was so powerful and i totally could not stop my brain from putting that deep perspective in the lousy 3/4s standard pose. I needed for that one at least to think of the basic cylinder turning in space, seeing below it, and everything that follows from that. 

ahh well, i got a big plan for a long master study from watts tomorrow, its one of those gorgeous russian atelier drawings, super fun to draw from. Then maybe some grello and applying that to some simple invention, we'll see ;)
