spending the day

Late night tonight with painting class (for all you purists out there...nope..it's not traditional) and spending the day drawing a flashlight that really bears a strange resemblance to a penis LOL. (oops, is this blog PG?) So I unfortunately won't be posting many of those lest people think I was doing anatomy self-studies. Also been drawing a lot of Choppers. Soo much fun I think I'm a fan officially. I ended up buying a bunch of magazines, books, movies (yay Discovery Channel "build-off") and talking about buying tickets to randomly go to Vegas to attend a few HD shows (that's Harley Davidson to you newbies LOL). I also LOVE Tom Fritz's work. I am SUCH a fan! It's really a great way to learn..marker rendering and I am hooked..I'm almost a bit jealous that I didn't learn how to draw and render this stuff first because it really teaches you how to think about the way light works (reflects and refracts) and materials. Oh and perspective...not the one you can fake in say, an environment that looks cool, but the 'either it works or it doesn't'-type. Ah well. And it is SO much fun..and when it is drawn or drafted well there is NOTHING that compares (at least in my opinion). An overall Copic-FTW!
