Direction

Hey guys, it has been super boring lately. Nothing is happening, nothing is planned anymore, just watching the clock tick as the days go by. Revision....my....what has happened to that notion???

SIGH.

But I guess lately, I've been sketching more, and just basically laying down ideas for some compositions I've been having in mind. Been raving about the female anatomy aswell...haha...so I took Gil Elvgren under my wing to get some inspiration and DAMN, it has been good.
For the non artists, Gil Elvgren is THE best pin-up artist in the history of American illustration. Working mostly with oil on canvas, his illustrations are by far one of the most amazing renderings of pin-up girls I have ever seen. Seriously someone to look into if you want to digest the female anatomy.

I've also been getting loads of ideas for compositions with mechs in them...and the only thing stopping me from going all out is that I can't put pen to paper with robots. I see it in my mind, but no, hand is not cooperating again. *sigh* Is this the never ending cycle of learning that artists have to go through TT___TT"????

Anyways, it's late...but I'll leave you all with a Mech girl sketch ;]
It's not finished...and the anatomy is wrong in places because I couldn't find a suitable reference, but it's just laying down the character specifics before I do the final piece.

As you have most probably realised....I am NOT good at drawing arms. No matter what I do, they just look odd...so another thing on the list of stuff to learn. *sigh*

Well my lovelies, I'm signing out.
Much love as always,
