The Adventures of robin jr.

In pictorial form......

Finding out you've been hacked.....

Spending an inordinate amount of time calling all appropriate agencies and sundry e-tailers to curb any suspicious activity........

Trying to explain you CANNOT be contacted at the email address they have on file for you because THAT CONTACT ADDRESS HAS BEEN HACKED AND I NO LONGER HAVE ACCESS TO IT......

Giving up and trying to find my happy place.......

(This MAY be based on actual events......sigh)

I’m simmering…..

Not in the “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore” way.

No, I’m simmering in the “I’ve got an inkling of an idea and I’m working on it” kind of way.

Not that I’m unique in this, we’re all ‘simmering’ in one way or another on our creative path….but I just heard someone say this the other day and it tickled my funny bone!

 'Thinking out loud' in images.....

Remember That Class I Was Taking…..

The one where I needed a remote to trigger the shutter on my phone camera?

Well, don’t hold your breath for anything to come from it!
It was a low tech animation class, just a short six lesson deal. But it turns out……I didn’t like it.
I didn’t like doing it, I didn’t like the results and once I had one animation under my belt and I wanted to share it with you I couldn’t. (Trust me, you’re not missing a thing!)

I need ANOTHER app to convert the animation into an MP3 to share and it’s just not worth the effort!

I just wanted to let you know.

On to bigger and better things!

Any Which Way You Can

I'm trying to develop a character that will be recognizable as mine…..that I can use to tell stories or express an opinion. I suck at drawing bodies.....and profiles.....and three quarter views.....I usually just go straight to giving up but this time I'm trying…..and practicing.

I still suck at it but it doesn't hurt so much anymore when it turns out lousy. I guess that's progress in itself, right?  

And this time instead of listening to the voice in my head that says ‘You suck, you can’t do this…..’ I’ve started drowning out that voice with a voice of my own that says, ‘Yes, I CAN do this if I practice enough!’

When I was little I had two favorite dolls. One I named Robin Jr. because she looked just like me!  So, I'm basing my character (idealized) on her. I'm honing in on her head/face....I think I've got that part down (or not, lol)....now I just need to work on the profile....then I'll move on to the body.

Maybe I'll draw the body á la Picasso and be satisfied with that……. we’ll see……

But for now I’m just DOING IT!

Sometimes.......

.....the backside of a sketch is just as good if not better than the frontside. LOL
