I've been trying to get around to writing all day.
     I was in the mood to write, and then I wasn't.
     I had to work out some things before I got in the mood again.
     Even now, I don't know what I am doing.
     I just won a card tournament on 'Card Assault' in 'Clone Wars Adventures'.  They give you a booster pack if you take first place.  I am very happy.
     Anyway, the day started like any other day.  I slept in, and finally made it to the coffee shop.  I did some writing, and I felt good about that.
     My sister showed up, so we talked, and I got her some coffee.
     I can draw around her, which I did.  I produced a new drawing of 'Sauraman' from 'The Lord of The Rings'.  I'll paint it up later.
     My sister is strapped for cash, so I helped her out a little.  I feel good that I could help her, but it means that I have to sell even more napkin art if I am to help her out once in a while.
     Specs bar is closed tonight because of the party they had yesterday.  They always take a day off after one of the big parties they have a couple of times a year.
     I might try a new bar tonight, and see what happens.
     Kilowatt is right up the street from me.  I might give that bar a shot.

     Anyway, I went through some picture files today, and I am thinking of new animation projects, as soon as I figure out what the hell it is that I want to do.

     I still have a shitload of unused photos on my computer that I have to use before I move on.  There is no point in having all of those pictures unless I do something with them.

     My soup is cooling down, so soon I will be able to eat some of that.

     I ended up being more stressed out and frustrated than I had planned to be today.

     Anyway, thanks for reading.

     I'll try and work out some more problems, and get back to you guys with some better content.

     Sisters are high-maintenance, you know.  Sometimes expensive, too.

Green Girl

      Here is an ad from the local paper.  I'm using marker pens to alter it.

     A lot of women look better when they are green.

'Venus' model for artists, and some other stuff

      I photographed these pictures from some video for studying how to paint 'Venus'.  It was an instructional video that I found on youtube somewhere.

      She recreates the same pose as the famous painting.

      Nice tits, though not as young as depicted in the painting.

      Good enough, though.

      A younger model would have been more historically accurate.  Not always easy to get the right girl for a painting, however.

      A younger model's breasts don't hang over yet, but I wouldn't kick this broad out of bed.

      Anyway, her hand is exploring the possibility of some play.  Actually, it just rests there.

      The hand is just grazing the bush, and not going in.

      Nice to see the model in the same pose from another vantage point.

      Thank goodness for digital cameras.  They work good for screen shots off of the computer screen; plus, you can zoom in.

      Anyway, I'll use these photos for reference at some point.

      Moving along, hands can be very expressive.  They function as indicators of meaning in a painting.

      Isn't that hand beautiful?  It is.

      The weight is on the thumb, and the rest of the hand hangs.

      The next series of photos I got from some movie, I think, or maybe from another art video.

      Not easy to obtain photos with high contrast lighting.

      It is a great face to paint because of the richness of all the tonal values.

      She looks like she is contemplating something.  Whether she is or not, it is good for the drawing.

      A hand with the two fingers spread like that can indicate that she is ready for sex.  Closed fingers means 'closed legs'.  I'm not kidding, I've done my art history research about things like this.

      She is beautiful in the lighting.  I ought to paint this when I have time.

      Older broads look good to me now, because I ain't a spring chicken anymore, either.

      Anyway, nice fleshy cans she's got there.

      Big, real breasts are always better than fake ones which never look right, or feel right.

      Nice pose for a figure study.  You can see how she puts more weight on her right leg.

     It is good to study the figure from all sides.  It is the only way to get a feeling for the anatomy.

Drawing of a Reclining Nude

      Here is a drawing I did in life drawing class.

      I remember this woman. 

      She was short, but she had a big, hairy bush.

      She was good to draw, because of her musculature. 

     I never fucked her.

     It is an artist's tradition to sleep with the model, but I never had the opportunity with this one.
