Automatic

Still got to take the practice shots to improve these scritch-scratch-doodle-do-drawings and quickies. Eventually the work will look like I’ve been practicing. I must stop the habit of settling with floating heads. It’s just too easy to create a character, begin with the head but not finish the rest of the body. Lazy. I can not draw automatically, well not like I used to . . . now I deliberate when there’s nothing to think about. I want to get my speed, artist intuition back on track. It is definitely time to take a class or two. And then, maybe the work will be automatic, effortless and the personal aesthetic will shine through. I’m still going back and forth between Illustrator and Painter. I think both are viable options and have their clear advantages. I might post something on Illustrator in the future. I recently had a chance to play with a Wacom Cintiq tablet. It is worth the whole $2,500. Practice makes jump-shots look effortless, almost automatic. Kobe often hit big buzzer beaters in the post season. Rick Fox mentioned that Kobe always hit those shots during practice. Outside of innate talent, practice truly makes a professional, with the exception of Iverson. Freaking Randy ‘The Natural’ Couture, continued to train after he retired. Giving up 43lbs, 6 inches in height and 12 years in age, Couture beat Tim Silvia for the HW UFC title. Styles make the fight and I guess his style beat Tim’s. He dropped Tim in the first 10 seconds with a right cross!?! Randy wants to fight Mirko 'Cro-Cop' Filopovic. 'Nuff said. Hiero is still strong.
