Bookend's Sketchbook

[Bookend]

Got inspired by Wesley Burt today.  Waw, I wanna make pencil butter like that.  Holy moly.  

So, I tried to deconstruct his style and really think about how I'm making faces.  Will continue doing more of those, and maybe LOTS OF HANDS.  

Also tentatively... TENTATIVELY.. Branching from values into colour.  I'm going to keep my work primarily on humans for nao, because...  Well, yeah.  ^^  That's what I like to do, and I can do better.

Hmm.. But, yeah.  I will bounce a bit between subjects within that theme.  I also have a few books I want to use to deconstruct what I'm doing, and maybe make doing the figure simpler.  

I also took out a looot of books from the library on architecture/perspective (The book on perspective in particular is really awesome-- Things have just been click-click-clicking)..

So, rough plan breakdown:  

Warm up sketching.
Constructive figure drawing (With anatomy by Michael Hampton)
Applying constructive figure drawing to generated gestures
Do some values of figure/portrait
Do some colour values of figure/portrait
Rinse and repeat.

I think that's less scattered and overwhelming.

Also:  I'm working harder to put more detail and push my work further, instead of doing it half-heartedly, too quickly, too sloppily.  My studies this week have been better, but still need work where quality is concerned.  I CAN DO BETTER 

Okay, not getting too excited.  I AM AT PEACE.  Moderate.  Middle path.  Woo.
