Discover me...

on Discovery channel...
you know? like the song :)
I've been asked to give a hand to a small program aimed at kids (or more so at their parents) all about... finding a passion and turn it into a job... or such.
It runs on Discovery channel and many other sites and i hope i didn't made too much of a fool out of myself.

dance dans le dans.

I've been following the rehearsals of a new show based on the notes of Nijinsky.
Here's Monica Petrica - prima ballerina of National Opera and Filip Ristovsky choreographed by Malina Andrei.
I'll come back with more material as the show will pick up.
 


and fooling around a bit

Broken Lunch Break

Incredible how human hands get rusty so fast.
I try to remind myself how hard it is to get back to drawing after a break - and nothing better than the lunch break to break the broken habit. Yet things get smoother and tend to perform better when more people get the same mindset - so i have filed a complaint to my friend Dan who's currently in Germany for a ping-pong match.
I started by sending him the very first doodle.. the warm up. I was just loosely splashing colors interested to nail some details in the shadows while a strong light source is around. A things for subtle values. What a mess:


Well, my friend Dan being amazing with his environment started to bark on my about perspective and construction and such - and he was right. This is what he sent me back (the happy guy took what he please from my sketch and had his way with it) Yet, i'm a guy who likes to build and follow along... yet.. i had to fix his colors :) and went on adding some details, changing the proportions and having a good time. This is what i sent back:

Currently he mumbles about how he doesn't like unfinished work - so.. i'm standing by for the update from his side. In the meantime... i fool around and doodle. I should go out there and get myself a model (we all need models in our lives no ? ) and take my hands (my eyes and my brain) on a study or two. In the meantime... fooling around should do (it's crazy how stuck the mind gets when you try to break away from the comfort zone)
