What a lull of a week! I was completely tapped out of ideas, concepts, and inspiration. Without any ideas in mind at all, none of the photos popped out at me all week. I think it’s time again for new photo shoots, if I can just get a model to respond to an email.
After a week of nothingness, I had a glimpse of a thought, so I checked a photo set that might work. Sadly, nothing fit with my idea, but I did see a photo that conjured a different concept. I’ve been working on the design for a couple days, and finally feel it’s ready to begin as a new painting. This one will be a slight departure for me, as I plan to add a caption to the final image (only for prints, the original art will have no text directly on it). So, I’m thinking the style will be a little more illustrated/cartoon, although not going too far from my usual realism. It’ll be interesting to see if I can push myself into this new style, or if I’ll revert to the safety of what I’ve been doing.
For now, I have the drawing on the paper…
