Hello!

This week’s Character of the Week topic was “Atlantian anarchist”. Picture the idyllic Utopia that Atlantis is – Surely such perfection cannot last that long and there would be rebellion??

I started this with a much more basic pose as you can see in the work in progress pics…but the anatomy was all over the shop as I hadn’t used reference. So I quickly found some and created a more dynamic pose. However, as usual time constraints became the biggest issue. With a weekend full of high tea and seeing Alice in Wonderland, it didn’t leave all that much time for drawing. And I am mighty slack sometimes. I think the weekly format allows me to just get to that point of a piece where I’m sick of it – but not enough time to push through that phase. In all honesty I should try and work on it every night. Though I am learning a lot I think – getting used to not relying on line-work and getting the majority of the piece down in a short amount of time.
The next step is more forethought and planning. What to do when I get to the point where I hate it. Right now my solution is to get stuck into details – yet when you’ve not planned for just the right amount of detail then you’re left frustrated. Heh.
I should make more (mental) lists when it comes to art.
Anyway, enough jibber-jabber..on to the drawing.

And work in progress

Ta ta for now
