Here’s the plan. Instead of creating illustrations from scratch (for Iliana) I’ll create a library of characters in Flash, and reuse the characters in different poses and with different expressions. A bit more work up front but a lot less work in the long run, and should give some consistency to the whole set of illustrations. I’ll try to knock out a couple this weekend.
Meanwhile I’m feeling pretty happy at the moment despite having to go back to work on Monday. The art workshop has been very useful, and I think I’ll be able to manage the rest of it if I don’t stress too much. I’ve developed a fairly clear direction for the future. I need to spend time this weekend on other things, but truth is I need a break from the art anyway. I do have a steel cage blow to complete, and a couple of illustrations for Iliana, but I don’t intend to spend any more time studying, which is what takes all the time because its so open ended. I’m off to visit Jennifer today anyway, and maybe pick up a pair of winter boots at Rosenbergs. I’ve been lusting after those for ages but have never quite found what I wanted.
