now to blow your mind...
drawn from a lower perspective, with more energy & less control, it's almost an entirely different person: sketch2.
truly one's inner state is reflective. the observer may sit across from the studied object -- upright, silent, focused on the back-forth between drawing and model -- yet the volume of thoughts within him are emotional, impassioned, almost shouting (ex2). or, perhaps they're carefully articulated, a reasonable thought backed by patience and wisdom. steady, rational and calmly thought out (ex1). and what a difference this makes.

this should've been what any aspiring artist learns on the first day of art school. well, six years later.. at least it's now or never. to know (after all this time) that "muddy" and "chalky" aren't realities, it's about their relationship in hue value chroma; that all color is a perception; that it's possible to look at the palette as one would a mathematical solution. suddenly this is making sense...

you see what this says?
time is of the essence.
& yes: i have post-its of chinese characters all over my door. i'm moving out of my current studio, and setting up furniture for a new workspace. while digging through old sketchpads (and successfully ruining another white shirt with charcoal stains), i found a few drawings from freshman year at Carnegie Mellon:
1. sneezing out a bird; god bless?
2. still life brainstorming
3. perspective study
4. contour drawing (note the ♥ used to dot the "i"s in "Vivian")

such vivid fleshtones, the way the light hits the side of the face, flickers through the lamb's eyelashes. alas, a drawing first.

Journeying to the West -- The Monkey King, a very talented Taoist, and Pigsy, a notorious womanizer, join a Chinese monk for his journey to India in search of sacred scriptures and enlightenment.
The above process: line drawing; digital block-in of the basic hues; modeling in details. Composite in Photoshop clouds and background texture. This was done for a Behind the Scene look at one of the stories portrayed in a Shen Yun performance:
