so u wanna like challenge urself and test ur resolve/fortitude? pick up something that u think is cool but u've never really tried. umm how about art. so i'm in the other room working on this drawing that in my head is totally sweet. i drew one of the hands and it looks pretty flippin' awesome. so i'm working on the other one, which is the right hand, so i have to look at my hand in the position, then put my pencil in my hand and draw what i saw. i'm working on the thumb and kept looking really lame. so i was just like ahh screw it, and i laid on my bed (well not my bed, but the daybed my mom now has in my room). so i'm looking at this drawing on the floor. and i'm like, c'mon that first hand was so awesome, i don't wanna scrap this whole thing cuz of this gay second hand (i was thinking of trying to draw another thing i wanna do, but then realized it also requires me drawing my right hand). so i sat back down and erased the whole friggin' thumb and went back to the basics...just draw what u see, don't think about how ur mind says it should look. i was like "this part of the thumb is too straight..." and then i looked and that part of my real thumb actually was pretty straight. and then i was like "well that part of my thumb shouldn't be longer than that other part..." then i measured with my pencil and realized, sure nuff that part was longer than the other. in about 2 minutes after i would sketch, re-examine, adjust i had something i liked. i didn't spend much time on the outer parts cuz i know i'm gonna blow this up before i transfer it to a canvas to paint. so once u do all that, ur like, well that's pretty cool. i didn't even have doctor loelle there saying "no jacob, ur not horrible, that actually looks right" like i usually do when i have those moments. oh good times, i love putting some ideas into graphics. somebody should buy this piece one day.
