kimchi eggs and tofu-beans with quinoa for lunch, volunteer park walk, cheese tomato and mustard sandwich for dinner, silly illustrations until wee hours of the morning
Still writing on Wednesday noontime. We're getting closer, but need to get better.
Had kimchi, eggs and tofu chickpea with quinoa for lunch. In the afternoon I went to Volunteer park and took a really long and lazy walk. I miss it as I've not gone out walking for two days at this point ugh.
Dinner was standard ezekiel bread with tomato cheese mustard etcetera.
Wrote a bit in the evening, napped in the afternoon. Then read a bunch on hindu philosophy, Nepal ukhaan tukkas etc at night. Then for some reason I began illustrating, and kept on going at it till half past three in the morning. I illustrated bodies of men and women, and it was rather silly because I was trying to imagine human bodies without having a proper model, so the proportions were all over the place. But just because of the fact that I'm thinking about it, I think I'm getting better? The idea is to first learn to draw from observation, using one's two physical eyes. And get really good at it. But the ultimate goal is to not need to draw from observation. The artists should be able to have a vision of a scene, and then put it down on paper. Even better, if they can envision their final output consistently, all they need to do is "copy" the picture from their mind's vision into the physical world. I'm not there yet, even drawing from observation is a big massive struggle right now. It does teach one about the correct proportions, techniques and general pointers on how to draw better scenery.
