I did three portraits today. Yesterday I did not draw because it was Saraswati pooja. Yesterday was a day for prayers only. Today was a day of practice. And I did three portraits.
Amisha Patel. Shyam Benegal. Karthi, of Ponniyin Selvan I fame.
I realized I am good in macro tonal control only. Not micro tonal control.
And I am good in three shades only. White, shade 1 and darker than shade 1.
Also I am average in hair rendering.
Under these circumstances hyper-realistic portraits are tough. Only realistic Portraits are feasible.
If I get a guru and/or sit with a good artist perhaps I can become a hyper-realistic artist. But otherwise it seems impossible.
Goodbye for now. Have a nice day!!
( I realized my drawings were not complete. It is not about perfection. But completeness. I am submitting a complete Art. To the best of my ability. I am 54 years old)
My immediate aim should be complete, realistic monochrome portraits.
ReplyDeleteThat leaves two immediate milestones.
Complete monochrome hyper-realistic portraits.
Complete colored realistic portraits.
I realize complete is important. It is of Jesus. I realize that perfection is not important. Complete is. My Jesus says so.
I am a shaivaite. I am from Kumbakonam. Both my parents are Shaivaites and from Kumbakonam.
ReplyDeleteWhen I am into golden ratio I feel it is Jesus. I believe. I have faith.
These are my internals.
Externally, I believe I have Level 5 manager qualities. But no Level 5 position. I am AGM in SAIL.
