Having said that, here are some wrestlers and bats. This time in technicolour!
Oh manly boys, how they love to frolick in the undergrowth!
I am in a truly transitional period in that I'm evolving new ways to paint, quicker and fresher ways. That one was a bit of an awkward hybrid and a bit fussier and bittier than I want to be.
I'm working on a bigger version of that, which is becoming problematic, but I'm rying to give the colour in particular a new level of sensitive attention. Because I was having trouble with the John Cena in the big painting, (The one with the big head), I did some sketches today to try and make his design less stiff and symmetrical, more fluid and interesting.
he is stiff and graceless in real life, but it's my duty to find pretty ways of interpreting that. He's also childlike and inexplicably endearing, so those are the qualities I think I ought to channel.
In the first sketch I was only just waking up. You can almost taste the dullness of my brain in this one.
Then the head began to expand even further as a standalone object, dwarfing his ever more chubby cherubic boyman boyfriend. But it was getting more fluid.
Then I reintroduced some attention-seeking nipples to the scenario, for balance.
I never used to like drawing on bobbly paper, but I got quite into it today. I was using a 9B pencil too! Smudgy.
I have oil paintings, that are just not quite finished to my satisfaction, and there's not much point posting them until they are. But I can post little cropped details. You've seen these before in previous states of uncouth crudity.
Oh, and dear old Kurt.
My oil paintings take a long time, but I'm sneakily developing techniques that don't take as long, and that get to the point without dilly-dallying.
I keep feeling a strong urge to remake ALL of my old paintings in a bouncy happy dynamic cartoony style, chase away all pretension and confusion... which I'm sure is easier said than done. In real life I could probably only do that with some. But it's a stimulating thought.
I'm pretty sure I'm being directly influenced by John K and the purity of his vision for 'entertainment', and the purposefulness of entertainment. And increasingly I'm fatally turned off by the pretensions around all the things that call themselves fine art and the people who call themselves artists.
It may be time for me to learn new ways of drawing bunnies.
Did you spot the deliberate mistake? There weren't any bats! Ha ha!
More soon I promise!

Chloe! You dirty little bat tease! Excellent entry. You make John Cena's head shape pretty, which ought to be impossible. I like the attention seeking nipples, and the phrase "attention seeking nipples".
Yay, let errumpentness abound ! Thank goodness Chloe is back, I have missed all the battiness.
and yay to more bunnies too.
You show us things we wouldn't otherwise see.
Very nice drawings Chloe ..(*btw, great name)
I especially like the oil paintings.. They take longer, but look at the result! ;)

Though speculating about what 'erumpent' might mean has proven a lot of fun, I felt it was time I looked it up- Yes, I see now. Erumpent indeed! and splendidly so.
Sneakily developed techniques that don't take as long to get to the point are good. Paring away the dross is good. For me, the hardest part is usually recognizing dross when it first creeps in, before it finds a foothold and takes over a drawing. Come to think of it, I'm not sure what 'dross' means either, if it's actually pertinent, or parable. Yes, it's the well-known, oft-quoted Parable of the Dross... Well. Ahem. At any rate, then.
Love the eyes in the bottom oil.
these are fun.
