Fence

I had such a great sketch in mind… Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea after all. Sometime you need to adjust an ambitious plan. Anyway, I need to sketch more from reference, without downright copying, see the big shapes, and copy those.

Tomorrow, December 8, the prompt for my continued blogging self-challenge is:

fence

It seems the best mindset to learn is to be humble, accept that you know only a little, and be patient. Learning is like gardening, new ideas are more like kernels, slowly grown and matured. Brains tend to relate established ideas with who you are and with who you belong to.

Squash

I highly recommend against an image search on this word, since you cannot unsee when what seems funny in a cartoon world has happened in real life. More disgusting is that someone actually photographed and uploaded it. This is why we can’t have nice things ☹️

Today, 8 December, my prompt for an extended version of micro∙blog’s Microblogvember is:

squash

It gives me animation vibes—squash & stretch 💪

Hip

Not in any way an admirer of fast fashion, I’m pretty unaware what is fashionable and trendy. It seems all so exploitative and wasteful. The idea seems to be to wear something for a few weeks, then throw it away and buy something else. It’s very trendy with the youth.

Tomorrow, December 7, the prompt for my extended blogging challenge is going to be…

Auto-NomNom-Y

Many want cars that drive themselves, so they can munch while being transported. It’s like Elon’s DC against Nikola’s AC, yet not at all, and certainly impossible when there are people involved, some of whom feel more equal than those who are not (like) them.

On the sixth day of my personal extension of micro∙blog’s microblogvember the prompt will be:

autonomy

Seat

The red and blue chair, designed by Gerrit Rietveld between 1919 and 1922. It was an attempt to make good minimalist furniture available to the masses. It was priced in 1923 at ƒ15 (± €126 nowadays). Professionally made replicas retail for €1500 and up.

Today’s prompt for my extended version of micro∙blog microblogvember is:

Proportion

I always had problems with measuring; I was never very exact with it. For drawing it meant that likeness required more work and more attention. Even though it doesn’t look like it, the sketch took me over 90 minutes and still it’s all wrong, wrong, wrong!

Tomorrow, December 4, the prompt for my extended blogging challenge is going to be…

proportion

Such an art-making related word.

.is

Iceland is an altogether unique island state which an active volcano and stunning landscapes, and a surprising temperate climate for its Northern latitude, so close to the arctic circle.

Tomorrow, December 3, the prompt for my extended blogging challenge is going to be…

is

No, it literally is “is.” »Chuckle« Y’know, the word the adulterous president 🤥🎩 tried to redefine, that is it is, is 🤔❔

Occupy

People can take over prominent places for a peacefully protest against the growing embarrassment of riches. Similarly can a cartoon character embarrass an artist by pointing at some rather off-model mugshots, despite many hours of preparatory sketches.

Tomorrow, December 2, the prompt for my extended blogging challenge is going to be…

Jest(est)

When I think of a comedian, Buster Keaton comes to mind. He’s supposed to be the master of physical comedy (slapstick), yet I know so little about him. I’m sure most of his work is in the public domain, so studying it should be easy enough.
🎨🍂✍️

And… I’ll extend—on my own—the micro∙blog prompt-based blogging challenge based on randomwordgenerator with the word jest for December 1.

A quick test. There will be a learning curve. But hey, learning new stuff is fun.
