On Ice

Went with the family to see Disney on Ice tonight and I must say that I had a good time.  It was the first time for my niece and she had a blast as well, so it was all good.  The last I went was when I was a kid, so seeing the excitement and wonderment in her eyes was awesome.  The skaters were good.......but there were quite a bit of spills.  No joke!  There were mermaids, starfish and pirates hittin the deck......and not in good ways.  I gotta hand it to them though, they got up so quick if were looking the other way you would have missed it.  Unfortunately I didn't pack my good camera and had to rely on my trusty cellphone......hence the blah blah pictures.

 Very cool when giant Ursula came out.....until they killed her...

Giant tick tock crock was awesome.....until they killed him too.  Just kidding!

GRAND FINALE WITH PETER PAN!  GOOFY,........TAKE US OUT!

Look into the eyeball

I hate it when I don't draw for long periods of time, because I almost have to relearn some things.  Not good.  In order to begin the warm up process I do some loose gesture sketching and stuff on that order.  Pose Maniacs is an awesome site I came across that gives you random images of models to draw.  They also provide a timer for you to improve yourslef, from 10 to 90 seconds.  Here is the result of my 45 sec session....

I know I should have gotten further along in 45 sec, but I'm working on it.


About that eyeball talk in the title....  For a while I was considering going back to school to get into Optical Dispencing....you know, as a backup plan to the art thang.  As a result I was drawing eyeballs until my heart was content.  .....sounds morbid, huh?  Eventually I narrowed all my sketches down to one and recreated it on canvas.  IT WAS A BLAST!  Check out the process....
