With my new Studio Office set up I get 2-4 hours of sketch time, minimum, per day. Though I'm not coming up with many ideas that lend themselves to final versions, it is keeping the creative juices flowing and I am creating. That is the important thing.

Looking forward to working more with watercolor, just need some ideas. There's a few here and there, but nothing concrete.

I also have a couple of lino blocks. Need ideas for those.

Also some canvas board. I had a vague surrealist idea, but I don't know if I'm going to run with that one or not.

I'm running out of room in my sketchbook. Hours of drawing has begun to rapidly fill it up. It's almost time to invest in another sketchbook.

Foreshortening hates me. So do figures. And perspective. I am terrible at all of them. Must practice. Maybe look up tips and tutorials for them.

I do have figure books that I have been using as reference. They are great for practice since I don't have the use of a live model. Also an excellent reference for pose ideas, and one is entirely images of moving figures. Which is brilliant, as you can't get dancing and jumping and spinning from a live model.

Just watched True Grit. The remake. I really liked it. Wade has declared it wasn't a bad movie. Now I need to go and watch the original. It's been so long since I've seen it, I don't recall most of it. Just the epic shoot out towards the end.

That is all.
