    Drawing plan 72: Additional Time. Idea Generation. Keywords.

    Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 72, I was thinking of taking one of the weekends off for my daily blogging. Also, it is an additional day to my already Tuesday and Friday hands-off blogging days. I want to do it because I feel like I’m not connecting well enough with the art community, so I need to change my strategy. Also, I want to make my blog more successful, but I can’t do that if I don’t know how to do that. Therefore, I need additional time, and I think you won’t mind if I take another day for the drawing plan 72, right?

    Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 71, I’m working diligently on 250 box challenge. I’m excited because once I finish, it will improve my skills. At the moment, I’m curious how to visualize the box to my goal. Say, for example, and I want to draw a chair from a particular perspective. Then, I see a cube without thinking about all the details, and I can rotate it in my mind and start sketching it. Therefore, my goal of completing the challenge is vital to improving my skills, so let’s buzz on over to the next set of drawing plan 71.

    Hi, friends, today’s blog post, I was thinking about changing the bland name of the drawing plan 70. Also, it never grew on me, and it seems odd how it flows between paragraphs. Besides, I want something art-related, but subtle. Similarly, I admit I’m bored of using the keywords all the time, and I wish somebody would ask about it. Anyhow, let’s bubble over to the next set of the drawing plan 70.

    Drawing plan 69: Stoked stoked. Clash, clash. Mistakes.

    Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 69, I survived upper endoscopy. The wildest thing is anesthesia. I remember going out slowly as I lay on the operating table. Then when I woke up, I saw the nurse. Then, I asked the doctor how long was I out? He told me 20 minutes. When I came out of the anesthesia, I didn’t remember anything. The doctor also mentioned that he explained his findings, but I don’t remember him talking to me. In the end, I’m glad I’m okay and stoked for the drawing plan 69.

    Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 68, Aspiring Artists will meet at 8:30 am, and I’m excited to try something new. For example, I will ask the participants to assist in reading the materials. In other words, during the Art DIET education session, we will review the Reuben Lara’s education page. In the past, I read everything and tried to explain it. However, I will ask participants to be part of the guiding. Therefore, it will help with learning and ownership of the material. Anyhow, let’s yell over to the next set of the drawing plan 68.

    Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 67, yesterday, my feelings went back to normal. Also, I noticed that many of you send me likes on my previous blog post. Thank you for that. Besides, I was planning on visiting you all to see if I’m interested in the content you produce. My goal is to make new friends collaborate on projects, or even bounce off ideas. Therefore, I’m okay now; let’s bash on over to the drawing plan 67.

    Drawing Plan 66: Ooze, Ooze. Plop, plop. Pop, pop.

    Hi, friends, yesterday, for the drawing plan 66, I went skiing indoors at the American Dream and learned a lot from my friend. He told me the biggest problem is angulation. My form needs to look like a “less” than or “greater” symbol. Also, I saw that I’m leaning back sometimes. Leaning backward will force you to fall on your head. When I ski downhill, my edges don’t catch the edges, and my rear skids on the snow. Also, if I don’t correct my technique, I will slip on steeper inclines. Anyhow, let’s try to ooze over with the drawing plan 66.

    Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 65, I’m waiting for my friends to finish the Lake Placid Jumping Complex’s zipline experience. Interestingly the place was initially constructed for the 1932 Olympics. My friends are taking the gondola up and then zip tie down to the base. The ride is about one minute. Afterword, I think we will go to eat lunch or ride back home. Anyhow, let’s screech over to the next set of the drawing plan 65.

    Hi, friends, the other day, we all practiced body conditioning after our hike to Mt Marcy. For example, sleeping in was a side effect. Then, so was yoga stretches. I executed the poses robotically, not entirely, but too tired to resist not doing them. Also, a wholesome breakfast is undoubtedly part of body conditioning. Therefore, we took it easy to recover after our 1,629-meter hike of Mt. Marcy. Together, let’s blurt over to the drawing plan 64.

    Hi, friends, yesterday for the drawing plan 63, I did something a bit different. I completed the hike of Mt Marcy, which is the highest mountain (1,629m) in New York state. On the day of the trek, we woke up super early at around 4 AM. We had to get the parking lot because it fills up fast. When we arrived, it was still dark and cold. We turned on our headlamps and started on the trailhead. Anyhow, lub dub, waking up early for the trek, is a tremendous challenge for drawing plan 63.

    Drawing Plan 62: Boom, boo-hoo, boom. Crackle. Choo-choo!

    Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 62, while I wrote out my morning pages, I thought about my inability to write my blog. Then, this weekend, I’m going upstate to Lake Placid. Hopefully, that doesn’t give you the image like the movie. However, I’m worried about my regular routines. At one point, I spoke to Nenad from Dronstad blog about when he does his writings. He suggested that I write through the day and get bits of it done if time is an issue. Therefore, morning pages are no joke useful, so let’s boom, boo-boo over to the next set of the drawing plan 62.

    ~ Lake Placid ~

    For the drawing plan 62, do you ever get one of those days where you don’t have anything to write? Then, you start going to other paragraphs and writing what you know because it’s routine. Then, still, you need to come back and write out something. At least people will know you exist. Also, I was hoping that something substantial would hit me during my morning pages. I write to them in the morning to think about my concerns. I seem to be in a fog today. Therefore, let’s find a way to give each other good vibes and push through and crackle over to the drawing plan 62.

    Drawing plan 61: Hack, haha, hiccup, hiss, hohoho, honk, hoot

    Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 61, I went outside for half my lunch to get some vitamin D. During the pandemic of COV-19, we stay inside and don’t get much sun, and end taking supplements. I wanted to start a new trend for myself and go outside in the back yard, and give myself 30 minutes. After I got back from my excursion, I felt so much better and refreshed. Also, as a bonus, I got to draw boxes in perspective. Anyhow, let’s hack over to the next set of drawing plan 61.

    During my time outside, I thought about drawing plan 61 and applying it to rock studies. I started doing them so I can recall images and bring them into my drawings. As I wrote out my morning pages, I thought about trying to remember the shapes while I sit outside. Then, think about how to build them inside my head. After that, try to illustrate them on paper. Of course, I want to try to have fun, haha, and move to the next set of the drawing plan 61.
