You have gained 1 Level!

I would be a big fat liar if I was denying how much proud I feel after a session like this. I'm also feeling guilty about feeling this proud. Would this mean that I'm satisfying myself? This would be the most dangerous thing to happen. At least I still see thousands of things I should do better, but somehow I'm becoming less shy to show my work. Need to stay sharp, I still need that little voice ready to mock at me and punish me. So let's suck some more, and get burried into shame, and hopefully again, like a Phoenix I will reborn out of my mountain of suckiness ashes, and gain a new level! Thanks to the model, and her strong presence.

Hangover by the pool.

I was in a strange zone this morning, after a bachelor party yesterday night, and 3 hours of sleep. I wanted to to something "relax" this morning. I went out by the pool with some of my stuff. Sat there for few minutes, and started to draw without really knowing where I was heading with this. The result ended being a quick black and white study, using india ink, a nib, and small kolinsky brush. Like the sketches i did in Tokyo. I even had the patience to work the textures of the stone. I really suck at painting environment, and I think quickies like this one will give me some techniques and confidence to tackle more complex subjects.
