Still awaiting approvals on submitted sketches. One day off does not make up for for the many many days working however... Especially given the morning hours of this session (as I have become ever more nocturnal as this project has progressed).
As such, life drawing is a struggle. It's hard to focus, even with a terrific model and decent lighting. Hopefully, by continuing to go through the motions, it is doing *something* beneficial there in my brain that will pay off at some point. It was 'short pose' day - and I found that I couldn't get anywhere close to addressing everything I wanted in each drawing (like the features and hands - only barely indicated here... ergh.) This is the last session until mid-January, which is maybe a good thing. (Since this blog is supposedly chronicling my 'daily artistic struggles', I guess you get the struggle and the not-very-successful aspects of my process. Yay you).
To amuse and console, I am treating myself (and you if you wish) to this series of Santa-photo-op misfires. :-) I loved the expressions in this one - why is it so many children are scared silly of Santa's lap? Hmmmmm.
