Every time I reboot this website I inevitably make the first post the equivalent of “I am now going to tell you about my website,” and this one won’t be any different. However, I will try to tell a story this time. Websites and I have had a long and complicated relationship. Not only are they things I spin up with good intentions and neglect, but they remind me of the difficult time I had starting out.

I drew the eye in Sketchbook Pro then watercolored it in ArtRage on my Galaxy Note 3.

This morning was harder both in content and feeling. I know I slept well, but I feel exhausted.

Day 36, Head Phase 1, Skull drawing durring pm session

Today was my first 5am drawing session. It was 27 degrees outside so I had the space heater going full blast since my studio still doubles as a garage. Overall it went well and I actually felt better about it than many night sessions I’ve had. I will continue to use the morning sessions for grinding simple skills, and at night I will work on more difficult topics.

I found some random portraits to trace the abstraction over to be able to better conceptualize what an abstraction looks like on different faces.
