Life

So "life" has been pretty hectic lately which means that i haven't done as much on learning anatomy as i would have liked to (although i did complete last months assignment). Anyway i moved, so my art things are packed away, and i don't know where they are... also my scanner is sitting in its box packed away. On top of that I am 38 weeks pregnant, so i'm guessing that I won't be able to upload my work on the muscles of the face for quite awhile.

One of the most basic things that a person can do to improve their drawing skills is learn Human Anatomy. So I have decided to learn human anatomy. I was looking online for drawing human anatomy and most things you have to pay for, or they only get as far as the skull. This forced me to develop my own strategy. I'm not sure if my strategy will work, if not then the practice of drawing itself will. So I will be recording my efforts here on my DA account.

I kinda outlined my strategy like a course syllabus, and have some basic "guidelines":
-Each assignment will take about 3 weeks to complete (working on drawing 15 minutes a day), so the deadline to complete the assignment is one month away at all times)
-After the assignment is complete, I can move on to either bonus projects or continue onto the next assignment.
-Follow the timeline for each assignment.

1. Merry Xmas to all of you who bare to celebrate this insufferable holiday.
Okay I sound like scrooge, but Xmas sucks. If everyone one would just drop their presents for a moment and think back to what xmas is suppose to mean you would realize what I mean. It's not suppose to be about spending money on people, it's not suppose to be about getting the best gifts. It's about family and love. But unless you have money to spend, well its not that great.

2. I've been dead
I haven't been here. I've been in college learning about architecture, which is amazing. I don't want to be a staving artist. I would like to get paid to draw, this is the best way I can think to do it. But I'm running out of money. Which sucks ass. But that's the way the cookie crumbles.

3. This rant is mostly about money
Incase you haven't noticed.

</b>4. Where to start</b>
Have you ever sat down to draw, with the intention to get better at it and then realized that there are so many things you just don't know. I don't know anatomy, value, coloring, and so much more. It's hard to find a place to start. And with such a small amount of time for myself with all this school, homework and family it's hard to get motivated to start. I feel like an astronaut and I have to figure out which star is the most important one to explore first and I just don't know.

I got my scanner and some other stuff... blenders, fixitive, pigment liner pens, a sketch mannequin, drawing for the right side of the brain (book) and gesso. So i pretty much spoiled myself when it comes to are supplies Many things to come stay tooned

I've decided not to update anymore art untill i get a scanner. So i'm here but not updating my profile just looking at other peoples stuff and what not. When I get my scanner though there will be tons of updates.
