--i feel lost--

[12daysinanhour]

i just spent the last...while...drawing a woman. it's not all that good...but she is beautiful. i just wish i could draw her accordingly. i can see her, but my hands just...don't grasp the concept. shoulders - breasts - waist - hips - thighs. curves. just curves. but so much more. the face isn't important, (not that it ever really is) not yet. i think, in an attempt to better understand her (before i ruin her) i am going to draw her in pieces. a picture of her feet, then her stomach, then maybe legs or shoulders and arms, then hands. hands are hard. that's where she gets character. hands, eyes, and mouth. not so much the face, anyone can draw a pretty face and anyone can have a pretty face, but character is in the mouth and eyes...sorry, i know no one really cares about all that, i don't even know why i jut spent all that effort typing it...it just seems important...i think the real problem i'm having with the picture is that i only have her in my head, no real model, and it's very rarely the artist that makes a picture great, it's the subject. so in this case, it's all on the artist, and to be quite honest, the artist isn't very talented. she's just ran across a lot of beautiful people.

**no more promise no more sorrow**
