1. 13 Assassins dir Takashi Miike

    One of interesting thing about doing these studies (besides the beautiful compositions and how much I like the rhythm of the cutting) is how terrible I am about drawing boxes in 2.40:1 aspect ratio. Look! Look how often I drew them in HDTV ratio 16:9! Maybe you can’t tell how often, but that’s because I’d keep correcting them as I was drawing. But I know some failed ratio boxes exist.

    I’m tempted to do a further breakdown to really dig into the film making.

  3. It was so cold at class tonight. So. Very. Cold.

     
  4. Cat studies! Our models are Rosalind and Monty.

    Cats are very easy to draw most of the time, because they mostly just lie around. Unfortunately for me, they’re most interesting when they’re running around, tackling each other which also happens to be when they are the hardest to draw.

     
  5. Live drawing, mostly at the coffee shop.

    Christophe Gans’ 2006 Silent Hill has such eerily beautiful compositions.  I also can only watch the movie in bits and pieces.

    I have a cold. Stuffed sinuses.  Everything feels fuzzy. 
Clearly, the proper treatment is watching Trainspotting.
