still reading, and it is still inspiring. But I am having a hard time of actually changing working strategies especially in the office. Open plans and all that. But also always open supervisors... I recently got a new office though, on the fifth floor which means much less or should be much less foot traffic. The stairs will slow them down.
There wasn't much point to this post, I am currently moving houses at the moment so just involved with remembering all the last details like dusting the lampshades and removing the garbage in time.
Last night I went to life drawing, and I laughed at first, because the model lives on my street, and I see her take her children to school. I don't know if she recognized me. But it was a really interesting session it was kind of taught by an artist in residence as well as the model. So it was a bit intense.
But there comments struck with me. Something I try to do often when in life drawing is draw the outside of the person, but also the room. Like the shape of the chair and all that. A full composition. This they didn't like the pictures always look a bit cartoony. It's also what most people do. The most played move. So instead they said just to focus on one area, like the neck, and let that take you somewhere not necessarily finishing the picture but just seeing where one area leads to another, and it doesn't have to be just drawing the human form, but really getting lost in lines, or letting it turn into something entirely.
Very fun experience, and a nice meditative social experience.
