More practice on a cheap sketchpad with a greylead to just not care about ruining or wasting it and use it up... Doing eye proportions by age. Ghosteen album playing tells me I've been working for 30 minutes.
ergonomics ramble
I'm noticing my weird bed adapted setup is actually really awkward for a number of reasons. Of course when I'm on my side my hip and side inhibit my arm. But its even when sitting fully up and putting the sketchbook on the lap table.
The edge of the sketchbook is catching on my hand as I move it because it's so small, it's centred because of the legs so I'm twisting to bring my right hand over, and the rest intended for a computer mouse is catching the edge of my hand too. I'm not supported enough at my back so I'm doing a held situp to get my arm to the paper. The legs make it a pain to move it and get up for a drink. Maybe having the easel and stacking more pillows will help.
Absolutely love this bone dry warm weather!!
Shopping for cheap art and am confused what sort of print to go for. Mostly thinking to order from Redbubble. Do I get the art board print and place them diagonally? I have about 10 different designs in my cart and will narrow it down later. Most of them are small sized (i.e. ranges between 12-20cm x 15-25cm ish). Or should I get canvas / canvas mounted prints?
You could get a cheap poster, blu tack it up temporarily to decide how you like the size and placement. Then adjust the art purchase accordingly
