I need to get my butt off the chair

I have so many things that I want to do, but i am not doing them.

He lives in a house a very big house in the country~

You know what is confusing? Confusing is watching an MV from like 20 years ago (please refer to the post below) and got completely star struck omg what a cute guy Damon is! Then you remember that the MV is from 20 years ago so that cute guy is now 40+ still looking good but not cute anymore. You can also get the same effect from watching Titanic, and to boost it, watch The Revenant immediately after.

Time is cruel isn’t it.

Anyway as usual the reason I am here, is because, I am procrastinating. Procrastinating if I should apply for a booth in the april convention. I already applied the June one. 2 conventions in the span of 2 months is, well, suicidal. especially when I have a full-time job+jap classes+drawing classes. The deadline was supposed to be last sunday and on sunday morning I was like “oh well! seems like my laziness made the decision! ” Then here comes the extension of application deadline. DAMN IT.

Now I shall figure out schedule and shit to see if there is anyway I can make it.

maybe I should just look at more Damon from 20 years ago to escape the decision making.

Dear Mr. Loomis

Although you wrote the book Drawing the Head and Hands in 1956, way before I was born, even before my mum was born, it remain as relevant as ever and I am glad I found out about you. After reading just the introduction, I feel as though what I have been doing for the past 20 years is trash, but oh god you cleared up so many problems which I sort of knew I had but i can never really pinpoint it out. Thank you. You must be in heaven because you are a saviour to misguided drawing amateurs like me.

Sincerely,
Chip

 

 

25 years late.

To all the art teachers who have once told me, ” There are no rules in art. Explore it. Feel it. Be free~”

Fuck you.

We should include basic academic drawings, anatomy studies, perspective studies, colour theories, and all other basic drawing skills back into our art curriculum. Stop being delusion with all the abstract shit. You can never do good abstract stylised art if you don’t even know how the real thing works. Picasso can drawing a proper human being ok. Seriously “Be Free~” art teachers should stop misguiding their students. Like me. Only realising how I can’t draw a proper head 25 years later since I started learning. Only realising how my basics are so shaky and I should have learnt them when I am like, 13 or something. Of coz there are born talents who just naturally figure those things out themselves. Too bad I am just a peasant and I can’t “feel” perspective without some logic and theories to back myself up. And no bloody teacher taught me those theories. The closest thing I have learnt are from the “how to draw manga” books.

One “how to draw manga” book >>>> One Mrs Tay.

Or maybe I should have spent more time on reading those proper drawing books. Instead of closing my eyes when I see the words. Maybe I just thought too highly of myself back then. Oh gosh why chip why you can’t draw why didnt you go learn proper drawing.

I hope is not too late now.
