I was watching some videos from http://ctrlpaint.com/ and the guy in the video had said something about an assignment he did in college that was 1000 gesture drawings in a week. He talked a bit on how just about everybody in his class was able to complete the assignment. Then the thought crossed my mind... Have I even done 1000 drawings since I started this blog? Naturally I felt a bit ashamed that perhaps I hadn't even done that many gesture/drawings since I started this thing, and it's been months. So I decided to go through my art folder and count all my gestures/figures/everything i have done.
With little faith that I had even come close to 1000, I began counting. The numbers quickly rose to 100, 300, 600. I must admit I was taken aback a bit by the time I hit 800s... And to my surprise, by December 1st 2012, I had hit 1000. whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!
So I kept counting. The numbers kept rolling past, it was crazy! It took a bit, but I finally got my end number. (granted I did slip up a time or two when counting, but anything i've done outside of this website should sort things out.)
My end number was...
2131
O.O More than double what I didn't even thing I had reached! All improvements aside, that alone was enough to put a smile on my face! Then of-course seeing how my understanding of the human figure has improved exponentially!! I feel so empowered! Like I actually want to try the 1000 gestures in one week thing.
HECK I want to more than double my current 2131 number of sketches/gestures/drawings!!! mmmm.... well... I will probably never count all of my drawings again like this, the number is irrelevant, but it's the progress I have come. Everything I have learned. I'm looking forward to my studies even more than before! I welcome the future with open arms.
Just the things i can do if i set my mind to it. Pretty intense stuff.
and uhh... he has tails now.
More training!
