some drawings from last night
Been pretty busy lately, averaging about 3 hours of sleep a night (not too bad; I'm use to 4 or 5 max). However, my Sundays are all mine! Mwahaha!
The good thing is, when I hit the gym in the morning, it is all good and I'm ready to start the day. There really is something about people who can integrate exercise into their lives or some sport that makes you disciplined and work harder. Plus, when it's time to sleep, you get good sleep; you're not just lying there staring at the ceiling. A semester of (rowing) crew kept me going all through college, because even though I didn't end up following through with that sport all through the four years, I integrated the discipline of getting up early and taking care of myself into all aspects of my life and stuck with it. I also love reading, particularly on business, economics and science (math too). I once read that even B!ll G@tes will supposedly take the summer off and sit on a boat somewhere and just read all kinds of books. Particularly on alternate fields from his own. The Academy (Classicism, etc) used to believe that a perfect body was a sign of a perfect mind. I watched the movie "W@ll Street" this past weekend; it's amazingly shot; B0b R!chards0n is THE man!!!! There is a part where the lead villain, Gekk0, looks at a man in a suit standing next to a bum digging into the trash, and he says to the protagonist, as they both gaze through a limo window "you can't tell me the difference between that (the guy in the suit) and that (the homeless guy) is "luck". True story.
I know we can't control the future, but I hear people all the time talking about how they like to draw and sing or do other things in their lives, but that's all it is. I think it's important to SET YOURSELF UP FOR SUCCESS as much as you can, plan and then plan some more, and also follow through. If you say you're going to do 1000 head studies, JUST DO IT. Okey doke. And here are some crappy drawings too, but I'm continuing to bust my butt because I must and will get better.

The drawing in red pencil really jumped out at me, you can really feel the mass of the rib cage and the torso in that one. Well done m'dear!!
