for the love of art!
Jul. 26th, 2003 05:32 pm4 hours ... that's how long it took me to get the lines down for this

Jack's Kids
It only took me 1 hour to layout the wrought iron bench in the last painting.
4 hours! 2 movies and lunch in between. 4 hours.
I blame kids' faces. In case you can't recognise them, those three are my brother's oldest childern. For some reason, Gabrielle and Connor kept ending up looking like monkeys or worse. Connor still looks slightly goblin-esk. If I erase any more, though, I'm going to ruin the paper.
4 HOURS!
Normally if I can get that much time all at once, I can at least get all the base work done and everything masked out and the background completed. Instead, I just have the lines down. 4 hours. After all that, I'm afraid to paint it now. I scanned it in, just in case.
I'm tired.
I want icecream
or a martini
my head hurts
