went to a life drawing thing! was a music theme this week. was fun haven't been to a life drawing class since uni

liked working with the pencil and also suprisingly the 2minute ones.. found the longer ones were too long to do a quick drawing and stop, but also not really long enough to spend time on the shading etc... think when/if i go again id take some of my own supplies with me as when i arived there werent many coloured pastels left to pick from.

Wednesday 20

had to go to some thing the job centre sent me to so got a free bus ticket to centre... went to the library scanned some more shopping lists and drawings in my sketchbook

went to a coffe shop and starting trying to edit the deld doc, as i wanna refine it n sort it more so i can print it and then edit again, but i just decided to start a new google doc and put the more simple aspects of the film on there and then its less overwhelming and can possibly add hand notes if needed after printing,. tihnk i did it for like an hour and got through a decent chunk, but will take more time ,,, more than id like but what can you do.

got sick of the coffe shop so went to the art gallery in hopes of drawing like i did the other week, however there wasnt really anything that caught my fancy and also no good seats to get a view to draw.. went to a room i like but it was blocked off for some dumb class..

returned to the library and read a big chunk of my book and edited some more bnw sound stuff.

felt moody and got some crisps before getting the bus bck home.

wathce fight club as i was tired and managed to do some drawing, using the sketches from the life drawing as a reference, with these wax crayons my grandad found and gave me ages ago

Thursday 21st

did more drawing with coloured pencil things.. decided to redo the idea i had for the nest thing with these crayons that i used on wednesday...as they blend tonnes better than oil pastel imo

sunday 24th

had a look at car.. dont think the mechanic changed the ignition coils. did some laundry

cleaned records

painted and listened to records... ordered plantasia vinyl yay

this is the painting so far... getting happier and happier with it... focused on refining the panels on the chairs to the far left and far right... i kept putting it off as i couldnt be bothered with the preisiion of it but it looks loads better already.

did a bit more drawing..
got some blue emulsion ages ago and painted a board with it and thought of doing something city inspired like a skyline with a posca pen kinda like the stuff i used to do, but also thinking of making a 'city skyline' of cups and books using by bedside table as reference. so might merge these two ideas together and also since i got that orange paint was thinking could use that.. decided to do a little test in my sketchbooks with the same crayons as yesterday

scheduled this vid earlier in the week:

got a busy week ahead.... job centre are making me do stuff nd also need to sort my car and also working 4 days to hopefully get the job centre to leave me alone,,, gonna be exhausting, gonna sleep terribly but what else is new

done a lot of drawing this week which is good.. next week maybe can write more?? i am working a lot tho and am going to be sleep deprived and exhausted but we'll see.. want to get on with deld doc and also some adobe editing bits.
