Here we go.

For a while now, I've been looking to reboot how I do things. How I draw, see objects, see anatomy and understand it. I always wanted to be an artist and I am, I make my living with it more or less, but I rarely draw anymore and my skills are not where I want them to be. I've been reading a bunch of books, researching how art and drawing was taught years ago and have come to to the conclusion that my education was not what it should have been. It did not give me what I wanted at all. So I am breaking down what I know and rebuilding it. Studying Bridgman, Hogarth, Loomis and some other instructors, I am moving to more fully realize what I can do.   


The plan here is to draw and post a Spider-Man everyday. Why? Because I love drawing him and I think it'll be a lot of fun. Plus, it would be a neat way to trace a year's worth of progress. Also, he has an overall simple design with a minimal amount of features allowing me to crank one out on a busy day. Through Spidey, I'll document my progress over the next year. One Web Head posted for every day, drawn everyday. My parameters are pretty open. Red and Blue, Black, Peter Parker, whatever. Maybe even a Daredevil here or there. I'll start with mostly pencil sketches and rough drawings, possibly even some tight gesture poses or costume studies, then down the road, move to inks, markers and hopefully some paintings later on. We'll see. Because I am insanely busy and commute 6 hours a day. Some days probably won't see updates, but the drawing will be done, posted the following day and dated in the title.


I'm going to start in the next few days, perhaps even tomorrow. We'll see, Dr. Conners might need me at the lab...
