BRB, writing a novel.

Radio — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 16:00:17 +0000

So for the last three or four weeks I have been working on a pretty monumental writing project and in the meantime visual art is hanging back like a wallflower at a middle school dance.

A study of studying.

I am out at a coffee shop today and I found it easier to sketch than to write, with all the noise.

More iPad sketching. I haven’t been feeling well, so I have been taking it easy. This one started as a sketch on paper from a frame in the Random Pose app, which if you are an artist and you have not seen yet, go see it.

IPad sketch

A sketch done on the iPad that might be destined for one of the canvases.

More drawing on my iPad, see the tiny owl?

Stoop to conquer

Stoop to conquer or World War. I can’t decide what to name this guy.

I drew this ON MY NEW IPAD. EEEE!

I have been a little M.I.A. lately, I have been possessed to do some writing.

The frontalis pulls up the eyebrows

I sketched this in less than an hour, using anatomical reference from an art book I’ve been working my way through. It’s a shame actually, once I finished the sketch I really wished I’d been recording it, it went so fast.

The book’s got information about facial expressions an the muscles that dictate them, and I’m at the part with the brow and how the frontalis muscles are like venetian blinds on the skull that pull the brow back and wrinkle the forehead.

As a note I love high shiny foreheads and side parts. The mobile picture that I did yesterday (I didn’t post it here but through my instagram account) was also from lessons in the book, that one dealing with how movements of the eyebrow effect the folds of the eyelid.

If you have an instagram account look me up. I’ve been doing digital painting on my ipod and uploading it to there. It’s extremely satisfying, even with the tiny tiny screen, to be able to draw right onto the medium. It feels closer to the work than my tablet does, and the results are surprising me.

The universe has been kind enough to send a little birdie telling me that an ipad is on the way to me, so that I will be able to do my sketching on a larger screen!

Girl ringing out her hair, my first video

I had to figure out a screen capture workflow for a little project I’ll be working on this week, and so while I was testing the software I made this little video of a random sketch. If people like this I will do more videos rather than just posting still work in progress screenshots. What do you think?
