Description
Poses from 3D models. Set the interval for 2 minutes in which I did the initial ball and plane construction. The rest took much longer. And I approached everything loosely and intuitively, eyeballing relationships and just going for the shapes and placements without driving myself crazy by measuring. It's getting under my skin into my hand. I think all the time I spent correcting bad habits paid off. I'm amazed when I flip the image horizontally to find only small distortions, instead of "D'oh!"

Decided that eight was enough, instead of ten (halfway to the goal of 20 in 20 mins), mainly because my arm and neck are in knots from constant drawing practice, and also because CSP has been shutting down unpredictable, which crushes my enthusiasm when I'm the zone doing magic and the work disappears. I set preferences to save every ten minutes, but I work fast, so nine minutes is enough to lose a keeper. The problem also affects the computer in general and may have to do with f.lux, that has recently been updated. One of the fixes had to do with causing problems in Windows using multiple monitors, as I do. Entire system can shut down without notice, not just close a program. Amyone out there have this problem? Please, let me know. Probably have to bear with it until the next update.

Progress note: I've gotten to the point after nailing down methods where I really don't know how I do what I do. The formulae and rules of thumb are there, but I don't necessarily follow them, certainly not strictly. I jump around instead of remaining methodical, like someone who is reckless, or confident. See it, do it. I don't ask myself what the steps are to do this or that, I just hit the marks. It's like my hand is doing it while I watch. It's a refreshing change of pace and for this I thank David Finch. I've been immersing in his video tutorials and gaining appreciation for his short cuts and pragmatism. What he advocates might seem like "cheats," but they are actually sound ways of estimating based on long experience with methodical measurement - whether he knows it or not. Trust yourself and use the force is good advice for those who have laid the foundation.
