I started out this evening so tense. I started by trying out something a fellow student had suggested and I got a little result. I quickly became bored and very frustrated, I flipped through page after page on the same pose, sketch after sketch. Finally I switched over to my china marker because I remembered that it helps me loosen up. So i loosen up and slowly put away my frustration and out of nowhere I am reminded of my doodling in history class, it was fun, I was making things up as i went, carving things out of big shapes, like sculpting (which i have become pretty interested in lately). So I decide to not pay so much attention to the model. I start making things up in places where i think they might work, but always looking back up whenever i had a question about where something might go. It was a good feeling, remembering that I was not there to make a copy of the model, but to make it more interesting and give it a bit of personality, the model stopped and gave me a compliment and a woman sitting behind me came up to me and said she had been watching me work! Positive feedback is always great to hear. Now that i look back at it, my attention and consciousness must have been completely present because the three hours flew by. Anyway today was an excellent day.

Nicer warmer closer! The face on the bottom one is looking good. Nice job with the foreshortening on the arm as well. The clam shell is a little to much of a focal point for me but all in all the struggle of Hokusai is with you! Keep up the good work mang!
