An old hand study... at some point, I'll study all the muscles but.. not yet.

I only have 3 more days to finish this.. and it still needs to have so much work done on it!

Human body drawings are the bane of my existence, I want to give it character and dynamics, give it a flow of movement, but there is always something that just isn't quite there yet.

And I'm getting much better and not getting it quite right.

Forms from superheroes in action..

My mother is not the easiest person to buy a present for, and she'd make it very difficult if my siblings and I try to do something nice for her on her birthday.
So, for her birthday I thought of painting a portrait of her.

Sadly enough, I have a few things going against me.
- I haven't painted a portrait in over a year
- When I do start, I rarely ever finish painting portraits
- I'm lazy and need a bit more than motivation

So you can see, this is a bit more than a monster of a challenge.

Here I document my progress.

An exercise in using colour and a different kind of brush rather than the hard round one I usually do.

Done in Photoshop.

There is something about the sun, maybe it really does make you a happier person, and take all the sorrows away. The heat radiating through your body and warming up every cold little nook and cranny. It could also be that I haven't truly experienced it for 3 years now. Haven't been in the ocean for over 6 years, it's just too cold in the winter.

But to truly experience full freedom of the mind, and no constraints of your daily life weighing you down is something I've only just felt. Of course, there were always be things getting in your way, and the doldrum of daily life, but it's truly elevating. I know there are things i have to do, and goals I have to achieve, but I'm not weighed down because of it, and not sad that I didn't get it when I would have like to.

Yeah... I haven't felt like this in my whole life, probably is the sun.
