Homing from Work...

 Hello, dear blog reader. 

This morning, I decided to do some Drawabox practice... But first! I cleared out all my company-supplied equipment. I'm voluntarily going back to the office. I live close to work, so it's not a pain to commute. The work-home separation will help my focus and work and home.

It also allows me more flexibility in setting up my personal space... imagine having my own personal space in my own home. Just saying that feels great. We'll see how I feel after a spending some days sitting alone in the office and all that comes with that. I'll let you know how that goes. 

Music: "Bringing It All Back Home" by Bob Dylan, how fitting.

Without further ado, let us draw!

Watching/reading Drawabox ellipse videos, I ran out of time for now.

I will be back with some ellipse practice drawings soon.

Busted out my old Drawabox Stuff

 I wanted to do some Drawabox practice, but I decided to try some sketching instead. I guess I'm ok with the 50% rule anyway. One idea I had was to listen to music while I practice. Right now, I'm following the book "101 Albums That Changed Popular Music" by Chris Smith. I listened to Elvis Presley's self-titled album and "Birth of the Cool" by Miles Davis.

Turning Over a New Leaf

 Hello and welcome to my newest blog. This blog will follow my journey as an artist. Step 1 learn to draw. A couple of years ago I started Drawabox. I got as far as Part One: Lesson 1 and then stopped completely. I can't remember why I stopped and that's sort of the reason for this blog. One of the sponsors for Drawabox is New Masters Academy. They have the 12-week Visual Development: Dynamic Sketching course as part of the membership. A version of this very course inspired Drawabox. The current plan is to take the 12-week course, work through Drawabox, and then go from there. Maybe I'll take Dynamic Sketching again after Drawabox, maybe I'll jump to something else.

This Music is for the Byrds

 The next album up is Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds. Pretty much not a fan of this album. The book says they are inspired by Dylan and the Beatles, but I'm not getting it. It sounds like a worse/weaker version of either. The book also says they were very influential in their own right. I guess I can hear it, but this is all too soft for me and sort of the first album I had a negative reaction to. Oh, thank goodness, back to the Beatles! Rubber Soul!
