5 Minute Draw & Blog

It makes me happy when my images come out at least half way what I was picturing. Today's 5 Minute Draw was pretty much exactly what I saw in my head.

Yes: She's doing a ballet interpretation of the chicken dance.

Seriously - what else can you draw from that position? Though, I kinda feel like she's trying to imitate a duck.

 I've always wanted to be able to capture motion really well in my drawings. I can't stand when subjects are stiff as a board. No one's ever completely still, unless they're modeling. And even then, there is a flow of energy and body language that must be captured, or else it doesn't work.

 I've been listening to a lot of My Chemical Romance today. I haven't listened to them since I was a teen. I don't know if their songs still hold up for me (well it's not like they're obsolete anyway; far from it), but their sound pretty much describes how I feel today.

La la la la la la la - la la la la la la la - la la la la la la la - cluck cluck cluck cluck!
