I need to draw more

February 15th, 2007

I was very pleased with the responses I got from my last entry. I know that selective focus is a form depth of field. Because of my assignments in school, whenever I see something with shallow depth of field referred to as having great depth of field it’s a little weird for me and I guess I’ll just have to get used to it or something. I also noticed that on the comments on flickr people commented on images with a shallow dof as having good depth of field, and if something has a great dof, they don’t comment on it at all.

So, now to move on. . .

I’ve been so uninspired lately, art wise. However, I think I’ll take a cue from a friend and start just sketching random ideas in my sketchbook for future reference. I’m not really good at that. Whenever I start drawing something, I feel like I have to finish the whole thing right there. However, I realize that art can and should be created in stages, if necessary. That’s what I did with my Soul Powered piece, and it was surprisingly successful.

A few months ago, I resolved to try and draw something everyday. I’ve failed miserably so far, so it’s time to try again. Starting with today, here’s something I drew from a reference photo. Yay for difficult poses and foreshortening. ^_^
