Octo's Wrongs

[Octo]

Kev, I made a start

Spoiler: apologies for crappy quality it's too big to scan

Theres about 1000 things wrong about it, I've made you look like a Hotel Dusk character! I need to be moar bold about things. Anyway, 'snot finished yet

 

[Keveh Kins]

Haha! Holy shit that's awesome! You've even got my lazy eye down to a T

Gotta show this to the missus when I'm down in Dublin

 

[Octo]

You don't have a friggin lazy eye, I'm just shit at drawing - pretty much every person I've ever drawn has a lazy eye, probably me taking revenge on the world for my own lazy eye

 

[Keveh Kins]

Not a'tal stop yer nonsense, ya can see it in the photo, the eye on the right droops lower than the one on the left

You also draw hair fantastically

 

[Octo]

I've been waiting on photographs to come in since the weekend, as soon as I get them, I'll give you one of them to draw. They're pretty funneh.

Ghost how come dem photos are taking so long? I mean I know you live in Australia and everything but...

 

[Ghost X]

Don't blame me, blame my respective relative . Feel free to use a facebook photo of me in the mean time .

 

[Octo]

Don't try to lure me into that godforsaken place!

 

[Ghost X]

Behold.

inb4 "You're doing it wrong".

 

[Octo]

You do realise that it's only a matter of time before that's a macro thingy?

Anyway I won't get to make a start until tomorrow because I'm being beseiged by relatives today.

 

[Octo]

I haven't forgotten about this (I'm sure you're just dying to see it) just festivus and this evil gnome have conspired to prevent me getting on with it. I made a start but it just looks like a Ring Wraith on a stag night at the moment. :/

 

[Ghost X]

How about now?

 

[Octo]

I feel like Charlton Heston in the Agony and the Ecstasy. "I will paint man as God made him. In the glory of his nakedness!"

Er not really.

But I confess I've barely done a fucking thing. But I was watching someone drawing on youtube and they were knocking out drawings in like a fuckin hour, so I know I can do it. I think I was so pleased with how Kev's turned out that I have set too high a standard. So I will get on it this week, and I'll just go at it. But it might end up a bit abstract expressionist

In art school, the first thing you should've been taught is not to be precious. Carelessly scribble my face in a concerted 5 minute effort, damn it .

lol nah, I don't remember them doing that. (Except when we did 1 minute sketches in lifedrawing)

I remember our tutors favourite phrase was 'work into it' which is fine if you want to be Frank Auerbach. But yeah they didn't have much time for delicate stuff
