    Drawing plan 84: Algorithmic Artwork, Transcript, and AANYC

    Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 84, yesterday, I met with my friend Steve over Zoom to discuss Algorithmic Artwork. During the event, the most challenging part was keeping the conversation natural and free-flowing. Such as not interrupting each other with our questions or getting too excited. Meanwhile, the best part was watching my friend show me the tooling. For example, love his use of Rhino, NetLogo, and Zbrush. Therefore, for the drawing plan 84, let’s start algorithmic artwork illustration.

    Drawing plan 82: DeviantArt, Mistakes, and AANYC

    Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 82, I’m thrilled to discover journals and status updates on the DeviantArt website. DeviantArt is a prominent place with many features and grows on you the more you use it. Upon learning, I used my question(s) as the status update because it’s important to me. Using part of my blog post, I create a small preview of what I wrote here and add that as the journal on DeviantArt. Thus, for the drawing plan 82, DeviantArt has many exciting features, and I’m yet to discover them.

    Drawing Plan 81: Art Programming, Emotional Control, AANYC

    Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 81, I had planned to do a Zoom meeting with my friend to learn about art programming. However, it got postponed to Wednesday, and I prefer it to happen on a non-workday to focus on quality. Also, I need to spend some time going through our meeting’s outline to come up with a few interview questions. Therefore, let’s be excited about art programming for the drawing plan 81.

    Drawing plan 80: Final Fantasy, IINYC, Stubborn Artist

    Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 80, I convinced myself to have fun and play Final Fantasy 7 Remake after dinner. While playing, I realized that I made it to chapter 6. Also, I’m up to the part where I have to blow up reactor 5. On our way to reactor 5, we bumped into Roach, who tried to destroy us as we biked through the train tunnels. After the showdown, we made it to the top where reactor 5 hovers over sector five slums. I’m thrilled that I got to play a little while I don’t play games as often as I would like. Therefore, for the drawing plan 80, let’s keep playing Final Fantasy 7 Remake.

    Drawing Plan 79: Julie Cameron, Wacom, and Aspiring Artists

    Hi, friends for the drawing plan 79, I was thrilled to spend my morning going through Julie Cameron’s book. She is the lady who wrote the book The Artist Way, you know, for creatively blocked people. I also cleared chapter 4, which had lots of interesting points. Such as the morning pagings eliminate ambiguity and score you clarity. Also, in the end, she gave us some questions. For example, she told us to answer them quickly as a lightning bolt would hit the ground. Therefore, The Artist Way is an exciting book to read for the drawing plan 79.

    Drawing plan 78: Buy Desires, Art Community, and Monadrock

    Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 78, my mind is fixated on deciding to buy a new tablet. Also, I’m waiting around till Black Friday in hopes of a fantastic price reduction. For example, wouldn’t it be great if I could get the 32 inch Cintiq for 25% off on Black Friday? Think of the savings? Plus, throw in an Ergo stand, and you are a rich person. Of course, I don’t need them right now. I want them because I work hard, and I think I deserve a better drawing experience. Therefore, I’m stuck thinking about whether to buy or not for the drawing plan 78.

    Drawing plan 77: Terrytown, Lyndhurst, and Aspiring Artists

    Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 77, yesterday we traveled to Terry Town and had a good time. For example, the town has a lot of history. Also, it’s known for it’s a headless horseman and historic Cemetery near the Sleepy Hallows area. While I don’t grasp the story behind headless horseman, the Cemetery was interesting. For example, a friend of mine told us a story of a stone carving of an angel whose popularity rose and suddenly fell. For instance, many people wanted to mimic and have that angel represent them in some way. Such as a statue for a burial. Besides, the angel’s inspiration, whose artist chose the face, was a dancer who gives special services to men. Therefore, I enjoyed the stories at the Cemetery, so let’s travel more to Terry Town.

    Drawing Plan 76: Challenge, Programming Art, and Pinterest

    Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 76, I’m proposing on starting a new challenge. Also, it will have a few questions. Then, I will pass it to a few friends. Upon completion, we will all receive a badge with custom initials. However, I need some time to prepare everything and choose a few loyal bloggers who would like to participate in the trial. Hence, the road ahead is tough, but the rewards are great, so together, let’s go forth with the drawing plan 76.

    Drawing plan 75: Flexible, Careful and Aspring Artists

    Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 75, I wanted to purchase a new artwork tool. I was on OfferUp setting up my shop. Then, I got an idea to search for a new Wacom Cintiq. After messaging a few people, I realized I shouldn’t ask for advice if I’m not ready to purchase the item for the price point. Also, I was hoping that chatting would convince a lower price. After all, I learned something about myself. Before asking, think about my goals because your question will affect many people. Therefore, think before you leap into the drawing plan 75.

    Drawing Plan 74: Mistakes, smart focus, Art Duplication

    Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 74, I stopped doing the 250 box challenge because I made a huge mistake. Also, according to the instructions, I was supposed to correct my diverging lines after each paper sheet. However, I did the opposite. Therefore, for the drawing plan 74, I plan to start over and learn from my mistake.

    Drawing plan 73: Box Challenge. Attentive Reading. Art Education

    Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 73, I’m thrilled to announce that I’m half-way through the 250 box challenge. Afterword, I need to go through each box with a red pen and find my mistakes. For example, I will check for diverging lines. However, after I find some error, how do I learn from my mistake? I mean, I have a heck of a lot of boxes to go through. Perhaps the best plan is to reach out to the author on YouTube or Discord and ask them that very exact question. Thus, once I finish the first half, I will turn my mistakes into an experience and push through the drawing plan 73.
