Practice Infinitum

[nphill19]

Well it's done, week 1 for the art camp is over. I didn't die, though I feel like shit. I spent most of the week trying to re configure my entire world it seems.

• At-home big tablet severe malfunction
  
• Windows 7 reinstalled, and product key out of uses. Stuck with invalid Windows until I buy a new one.
  
• Laptop computer required a new charger, so I could have something to paint on. Laptop from '07 and using wacom from '03?
  
• Senior concentration portfolio due
  
• Figure Drawing at home assignment due
  

My assignment, draw someone from life and makeup a background element that correlates to the person. I didn't have to know the model but I choose my roommate because fanart. =P


Literally, once Noah's art camp arrived everything in my life seemed to turn into a shit storm. I have a lot of personal life going on too, stress not parties lol. It's fucking crazy how bad my luck is. But I digress. These are the color studies and then a not so finished, finished master study of Twilight by Bouguereau.




Sorry for the rant. I learned a lot from all this though. Especially with color. The biggest thing I learned is how much I really don't understand about color. I feel like such a beginner, humbled, and somewhat ashamed. I'm not going to get super down about it though, week 2 starts today. The only thing I can do is press forward and strive to do more/better than week 1. How I began this is not indicative of how I will finish it. I have had time now to understand the difficulty of the task at hand and I can make better judgement on the time it will take to get what I want to get done.
