I've decided to split my art load into 2. Less pressing drawings are going to be done at work. Paintings and such are worked on when I get home. This way I'm still getting something done on my down time instead of staring at the ceiling like usual.
So today I worked on one of 15 air force drawings for which I have no picture. I think I've learned from my mistakes on the first one. Oh it's so nice having a compass! Instead of struggling to freehand circles for 2 hours, I drew them in 10 minutes. Yes! Then it's all cake until I reach the font again ...but I'll let you know how that goes.
At home, I'm still laboring away at Dileep's oil painting. I decided to work primarily on the hands and background today due to the fact that I'm just sick of staring at the facial features. You look at something long enough and your brain seems to see what it wants to see. Not what's there. That's exactly how you get things that are way off.
His fingers had to be lengthened and might be too wide. I can't tell yet because it may be a trick of shading. The background is pretty easy. Just blurry parts of a bridge or something. My only problem with the background is that the picture I'm looking at cuts off some features of the van. So I'll have to improvise and guess. I don't like guessing!
