2D

This is a perfect example of ruining something good. Sometimes it is hard not to overwork something. I like the drawing so much more. I need to keep drawing and painting separate. The end painting gives me nothing.

The next drawing I tried on canvas I stopped. I don’t like my style. I seem to overstylize in a way tha looks like an old advert from the 50s or like a cartoon sears catalog.

I got discouraged and frustrated from portraits, so I moved to structures. I still couldn’t escape cartoonishness.

I like this similar drawing that I made long ago, so much more

Here’s a foreshortened hand, I’m trying to teach myself with simple exercises.

This is the opposite of the painting of the fireman (below), shitty drawing, great painting. Somehow I had the restraint not to ruin it. I think it is my favorite 2D work.
