Happy Chocolate Appreciation Day

Okay, so I'm working on getting my butt in gear for Drawing. Good news is, I got into the Juried show! YEEEEAH! And I finished framing my work (it's the horizontal vomiting picture), so that's done. Successfully applied for Grad school AND the position of a Graduate Hall Director (but I need to turn in my final letter of Recommendation for that), and I am soon to apply for financial aid.

Back to Drawing--I have an idea! That sprung from all the little dumb photoshop things I do for fun (recently, it was drawing myself as a Disney-fied princess). I'm making paper dolls! But instead of changing the clothes, I'm changing heads (ala Princess Langwidere). The base will be me, and the heads will be very generic versions of people I know (the Mother, the Scholar, the Model, etc) I think. Initially, it was going to be people I knew, but Julia asked me how people were supposed to know my relationship with them, and I wondered at that, too. So I'm not too sure what I'm going to do or how I'm going to go about...whatever I'm doing...but I'm thinking of coming up with 30 distinct "identities" and try and capture as much of that on one head as I can.

The size and scale are two troublesome factors I'm working on...initially, I had planned to draw them directly-proportional and life-sized, but now I'm leaning heavily towards the "Super-Deformed," extra-large heads (that make me look like a UFO doll). But I'm not sure how big I'd really want them to be...I think I'd like to make the heads about twice the size of a normal head, but the body about half the size of a normal body (or at least 2/3).

Well, I'm exhausted. Hopefully I'll get some work done tomorrow!
