skinny pages.

new moleskine.
couldn't get the one i wanted.
now have very thin pages.
which are crinkling with the acrylic paint.

so expect some very ugly scans :D

but that's okay.

am doing a bit of copying at the moment. uni drawing classes want us to imitate. so the following are imitations:
(i haven't bothered to shrink them down. they might be nicer big. feel free to get click-happy)
(titles also present on enlargements)

O

most exciting thing all week:
you know how sometimes you can feel improvement?
like. it doesn't matter whether other people can or cannot see it. but you look at something you do and just think "yes."
I AM SO HAPPY WITH THIS DRAWING/PAINTING/THING.

I'm painting Will.

i'm always painting Will.

he can find out if he happens to check. he of the three very demanding blogs.

oh amazing! i can re-cap on my paintings of Will.

The result of a conversation over a poor quality photograph.
"Will, you look like Jesus."
"I do not."
"Oh yeah?" *paints*

(Will's canvas)
2009
Will being tired - painted from life - on Yuan's bed in London. while he was likely on youtube.


Will today.
post dying his hair.
secretive.
i'm not done.
i'm likely still not done.
crud. i got pen-happy and now the eyes are warped and the hair is swirly.
*cackles*
GREY...GREYYY!
this is becoming all a bit ridiculous and i'm starting to like the first one best with its non-matching eyes and non-overworkedness.
i'd better get it right this next time or that is it.
Will's third imortalisation will be the devil.
hah.
and the first was jesus.
making me think perhaps i should stop now while there's a weird sort of humour.
