One day, soon I hope, someone is going to teach me how to photograph drawings that don't turn, green, blue and grey. One day soon.

New Project - Proto Five Minute Sketch
For this new 'project' I want to jot down how I am feeling about not having a studio. I am not ungrateful for having the space I presently use as a studio, but it is definitely not a real studio. I am cramped and disenabled. I did this sketch in five minutes flat and I intend to develop the theme with better drawing. I did this out of my head so who knows what it will really look like once a proper study is done. To anyone else this might seem an empty exercise, but not to me, and at least I managed to start the project. It is so easy to hold these schemes in one's mind and not to do anything about them. If I can do one sketch per day that would be awesome, but I don't think that will happen as I work during the day, but the more I sketch the better I can record my mind's eye.
One day, soon I hope, someone is going to teach me how to photograph drawings that don't turn, green, blue and grey. One day soon.

New Project... Just for the Record.
From July, I have decided to do one drawing per week and post it on this blog. I have been neglecting my drawing for so long and it is showing. I intend to do small sketches which shall sometimes contain water colour and, at this stage, I am not too sure what the content will be as I am not going to drawing class, but I do want to put down 'thoughts' on paper. I shall have to get the relevant materials out which is a bit of a pain because I don't have too much space, but if I don't do this, I shall forget. Just for the record....
Looking back on previous posts, I am somewhat annoyed. There it is; evidence of challenges, unfinished and undistinguished. I ran out of time for both the Wig and Diana challenges, and apart from the fact that I absolutely do have a time problem because I can only draw and paint at nights and on the weekends, I am also guilty of not practicing my drawing and, because of that, I am working a lot slower than I need to. This has got to stop; a simple 'quickie' here and there all adds up to that magical figure of 10,000 hours to get mastery at something. I'll talk about the '10,000 hours' in a future post. The thought of it is too overwhelming at present.
However, I am in one way relieved that this blog is a sort of 'documentation' of the blog challenges I enter, finished or unfinished. I can use those ideas for future challenges,which might not have been at all possible had I thrown these works in the trash. See?
