After scrapping my first few ideas, I have a sketch for my intaglio! Actually, if it comes across well enough I think this image has real potential. It is all composed and stuff!
Today was a double dipping of critique.
Experiments in Drawing has some really great critique, I'm just getting tired of how Sarah dislikes every single piece but her own. I won't get started on her piece (lest I get another email from mom) but blimey! All I can say is hearts, bunnies, and kittens oh my! Some of the work was admittedly done just because Modou said to do it, some had happy accidents, some were stunning, some were daring feats, some were the Mormon view of Heaven, some had color and line that were reminiscent of a meniscus, and some were coloring book cut outs.
I went home and pretty much put on Project Runway and painted my self portrait. Correction: my horrifically ghastly self portrait. The smile is more a sneer (intentionally drawn so), the skin is gray and lifeless, the hair is dull, and the contrast is not punched enough. The eyes are also massively uneven. Not really all that great. When I got to class I had fun disturbing my classmates with it. Karen in particular.
Painting was 10 minute critiques for every classmate. It was all the work we have done thus far and basically an overview of what is going right and wrong. Very general and nice critique. What is going right for me: attention to certain detail in landscapes and facial hair. What I need to work on: speed of painting, saturation of color on figures, not making my figures so assembled, and making my eyes less wibbly. It is a very nice class. I feel a little left out because this is my first semester and the majority of my classmates are second semester and are already used to each other. But I'm making nice.
Drawing critique is more in depth about meaning, painting has a focus on technique. That suits the classes.
Afterwards I went home, watched MORE Project Runway, drew, watched the second half of Casino Royale while drawing, ate (frozen)stir fry, and sort of looked at my G a little.
How amazing does Robert Downey Jr. look in Tropic Thunder?
