I
don't mean to paint a picture that my life is all consumed by Intro
to Drawing but it kind it is right now and I don't know if that's
good or bad. The good part is I really enjoy going to class Tuesdays
and Thursdays for the inordinate amount of time which I do. The class
gets me out of coffee cliques, and gives me a noble excuse for
rescheduling doctors appointments, physical therapy appointments and
such the only problem is that also hinders some lunch appointments.
People in my universe forget that I'm involved in this quasi-endemic
pursuit that takes all my morning two days the week.
I'm
almost beside myself. We got our new assignment today which is we've
got a draw a maze.this is already turned into a nightmare project.
Maybe I'm overreacting a little bit but were back to drawing lines
with vanishing points that have to be very exact. I don't do exact
very well. Thank gosh I can blame a lot of this on my disability
(which I think is bull because even before my accident I can remember
neatness is not one of my strong points). The image that I've
included with this posting is very poor quality but you can see the
lines that I've drawn so far. On the right-hand side supposed to make
19 progressively getting smaller squares and I think something like
10 on the other side. The image that you're seeing is my second stab
at this project after about two hours of work. This is called the
incremental's it is the basic basic part of the project. After I get
all the incremental's done that I actually start building the maze.
It's so weird to sit there and try to do this work and see my
classmates all progressing so much quicker than me. I sometimes
wonder if this maze project will be the end of my short-lived drawing
class. I hope not hope to think I'm stronger than this. Bear with me
please go make a bunch of excuses or some excuses as to why having
these problems. First and foremost is the size of the tablet that I
have my paper clipped to. It's so big that I cannot reach parts of
the tablet and I have to move the paper art clipboard around so I can
reach. For instance if I have to draw the long line that sets up for
the vanishing point stuff lines never straight and never just one
line because I keep lifting the pencil off the paper because I can't
reach. I also cannot hold the pen very strongly which then wanders
all over the paper making for very messy project. I indirectly
visited with my instructor regarding these issues. He nodded his head
as he seemed to understand. I was able to show to him that I
understood the concept of drawing the line to perspective is against
smaller and more distant. That might be as good as it gets. I'm going
to work on this project a good part of this weekend I believe.
Interesting to note that I am not the only person who is really
challenged with this assignment. Will probably also have next week to
work on this project partially because next week's the Fourth of July
holiday and we will not be meeting that day. So, I've committed to do
the best that I can. My maze I know already will not look very good.
It will look messy and slovenly I just have to accept that. I'm happy
as a clam to know the principles and concepts and traditions of
drawing but I still think in the end of been a draw like I draw and
draw to enjoy…
