An apple never falls… Wait, how does it go?
Second sketch! An apple, because, you know, apples are the way to go. Can’t wait to try something with people in it. It might drive me insane, but it’s so fun and addictive.
I can already see where I went wrong:
- should’ve used a bigger canvas (this is about 80%) of what I used
- my sketch wasn’t quite right (the bottom should’ve been flatter)
- maybe the color choices should’ve been bolder? the dark red should’ve been darker, etc…
- not enough details of the apple surface, dots, lines?
Could really use some helpful criticism and tips, or I just know I’ll repeat the same mistakes in my next sketch.
Returning to art
So, it seems there’s some need for creative expression in my life. It’s weird, because all I do is creative work, right? In addition to singing, which became my favorite thing ever during the last few years, I decided to resurrect my drawing hobby. Of course, drawing with a regular pen and paper seemed so tiresome and not that new, so without very much thought – there’s a new Trust tablet on my desk.
I know, a lot of people think that Wacom is the only way to go, but the Wacom tablet was twice the price, and, you know, what if I’m no good at it? To spend that much money on a tablet… But this one feels really nice. It’s pressure sensitive, and there’s a lot of helpful tutorials and forums which I’ve been consuming instead of doing any useful work while at home. And I just finished my first sketch, using The Vase photo as a reference. more…
It’s crimson crystal view
I have to get used to this place actually being a blog now. And start, you know, writing blog posts.
So, last week I went to the In music festival here in Zagreb, on the lake Jarun. And it was so amazing… So many wonderful musicians, so many people at one place. Some of the bands playing there were Billy Idol, Flaming Lips, Massive attack, Broken Social Scene, Morcheeba, Rise against (those were my favorites). I adore Billy, he is so awesome, cool and fun, even being over 50 (?). He sounds and looks sooo great. Massive attack put up a wonderful show, with gorgeous, ambient lights, beautiful sounds, it was so dream like… And I fell in love with Rise against all over again. A few years ago I was so hooked, and listened to them so intensely, The Good Left Undone being my favorite. Check them out if you like the “heavier” stuff :)
But, I wanted to talk about Morcheeba. more…
