My current ideas for my four pieces this month are....
1. A hand with lacerations on the palm that run along the metacarpals in watercolor.
2. A still life of fingers done in charcoal, and conte.
3. A series of hand drawn on small squares of watercolor paper done in pen, and ink (or sharpie) with
each having a different background color.
4. A hand with a missing thumb. (hopefully might change that if something better comes to mind).
Having to go to work less does help I guess, but doesn't help my budget, but I manage (thanks to mom), and working on art at home on days that I don't have to work also helps my sleep schedule, but one thing I'm missing is my one inspiration. My big idea that uses what I've learned, how I feel, and my big idea, and incorporating it into a hand for my concentration.
I come up with plenty of concepts, and ideas of how I could make it happen. I just can't seem to find that one that will make me go WOAH!!! That's what I'm waiting for. I guess I will just have to keep doing more works of hands in many ways till I find that big inspiration, and what comes with it. I anticipating it to come through my bedroom door at 3 am, and smack me in the face, and just throw me out the window.
Well you are multiple steps ahead of me, you have IDEAS. I on the other hand I do not. I am constantly coming up with a model for my picture at the last minute or I just don't have an idea for my photo. So it is good that you are planning ahead and have multiple ideas so you can knock out the pieces quickly.
ReplyDeleteI too dream of a world without thumbs. they are horrible to draw
ReplyDeleteZach, while reading your blog, i thought of a kinda cool idea for a piece of yours that you can use for yourself if you like it.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about a hand, holding a marionette controller thing..heres the link to a pic of one.

and having the string being attached to another hand. having one hand controller the other. I know its odd and kinda weird, but i thought it was cool!
Cameron I love the link. That does inspire me for a few ideas. Thank you!
