I wonder about the creator of this image; whether they never experienced a dream coming true or seeing a vision fulfilled. I feel blessed to be an artist, where daily I take my pen to paper and touch my dreams to reality. It's the one place where I can live the fairytale, and when I return to real life, I'll have brought a small memento with me.
Sketching has taken on a new life recently; now that the first 80 pages are done and over with, I finally feel free. Having more fun with it and pushing myself further; I really should've been doing that in the beginning I think. But looking at my progress over the last 90 pages, there definitely has been!
I spent a page with my 13 year old niece who is looking to get into an art centered high school in SF. Spoke to her about perspective and shadow shapes and the three rules that I put into practice in ever piece I do. Squint, Contrast is the meaning of life, and REFERENCE. I hope I wasn't too real with her about the work it takes to become successful in the art field; she's just a kid and should enjoy being one still.
Spent a Monday at the Winchester Mystery House and Santana Row. That was an awesome day to say the least. I need to go back. The house is just absolutely massive and a joy to draw in perspective. =) And as a place to draw people... it's hard to beat Santana Row. Sat outside Pinkberry and just stared and sketched for a good 3 hours. Oh and ate yogurt. Can't forget that.
