Park Slope
Once again, I’ve found that
you don’t know what you’re going to learn until
you go through the studying.
You don’t know what you’re going to experience until
you go there.
Art is Life.
Tonight I’ll be working at a Sweet 16 in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
Sweet 16. What will that be like? I’ve worked at many Sweet 16’s.
From my experience, I’d say that That means
Couples.
Not my favoriate thing to do.
But there’s nothing like studying to make me look forward to the experience. Because if I study, I’ll be working out a problem, an idea. So I’ll look forward to using what I studied.
The first thing I did was to draw some couples directly. I wanted to remember to overlap them. And I decided that tonight, I’d either want them looking directly at me or both looking to the same side. Looking directly at me is the easiest for me - I don’t need much more than an oval with an X for a predraw:
I’ve been wanting to work on my 3/4 views for 3-dimensionality, so I practiced that too (more of a predraw - if I do it enough, I won’t need it so much):
Then I remembered something that I love to do. When it jumps out at me and I see how I can wrap thge 2nd person’s face in the leftover space of the first person. This is most likely to happen when someone has a very long thin face.
But I decided to just
make it happen for me.
By drawing the 2nd person as an amorphic shape:
Ick. Something I didn’t like about that.
So I decided to make then BOTH from amorphic shapes!
That came out real cool. Real ‘caricatureeeee’:
And I’m off! About to go have some fun at Alana’s Sweet 16.
Parties can be what we make them to be.
Life can be what we make it be.
Parties, Life, School, can be
fun, interesting, boring, scary, magical…..
We can choose to change our experience if we don’t like the one we’re in.
