I think I'm coming to a point where I really need to stop sketching, and find a way to find room in my schedule to paint. On the one hand, I feel like I can't seem to find the time. On the other hand, I feel like I'm stalling.
I am getting happier with my little doodles, but they're all getting about as far as I really want to go with colored pencil.
Aneel has been kind enough to model for me, several times in the past. I've never really gotten anything close to a likeness, and I don't know that I've done that here, either. But the difference is that, this time, I'm not even trying, I'm just kind of doodling. These are essentially just under drawings.
Still have no idea why I am drawing a million angles of Robert Pattinson. I'm sort of just going with it now, figuring eventually it will lead me somewhere. Today, it led me here. Playing twister with faces again.
Hmmm...
Started doing all these sketches of Robert Pattinson's face. I have no idea why I am doing that. I don't even know the guy.
Except that... it's kind of fun. I have these moments where I feel like a creepy stalker, but then I play super deformo with my colored pencils, and I get over it. Suprisingly easy to give myself the old pass on being creepy. That alone should probably concern me.
Ah well.
This just rounds up my week. Eva sat for me this morning, while we were waiting for brunch on a rainy sunday morning. Drawings are still so slip slidey, but I am liking this tiny little moleskin sketchbook. It tucks so neatly into the smallest spaces and the paper seems sturdy.
Barak also offered to model for me this week. I haven't drawn him before, though he was a very willing model. As always, I don't know that this looks like him, as much as it was intersting to look deeply into the features of someone for the first time, while holding a pen in my hand.
"What does Barak mean?" I asked him.
"In Hebrew, it means something like lighting," he told me. And I like this. It suits him.
