exatronThis weekend has been good to me so far.
Thanksgiving went well. Everbody liked my part of the food preparation (the rolls and an apple pie), my grandmothers didn't do any meddling or nitpicking for once, and I enjoyed listening to my relatives complaining about the Lions game.
I managed to make myself scarce when my parents started showing pictures from their trip to Hawaii and used the time to draw.
After relatives started going home, my sister and I watched the Farscape episode "Won't Get Fooled Again." I never noticed it before, but I prefer doing things with other people when I can.
My trip to the gym on Friday went really well, even if I did arrive a few minutes later than I wanted because I had to stop and enjoy the snow.
I finally got Inkscape 0.43 to install. Now all I have to do is convince Metroplex to recognize the tablet I "borrowed" from my mother and I can start using the program to revise my icons a bit and do other interesting things that you just can't do well with a mouse.
Here's the latest drawing I've been working on. It definitely isn't finished and has a few problems, but at least I can say that I drew it and inserted the stars.

Date: 2005-11-29 08:33 pm (UTC)Good Thanksgivings rock (I'll assume, mine was blah for obvious reasons).
Sociableness kicking in? Good. For the longest time I looked forward to being able to afford living alone. Now that I've done that and the roommate situation, I'm not so sure. I hope that means progress for ya.
You named one of your computers (hard drive?) Metroplex? Excellent. XD Name any others? Good luck learning a tablet, I still hate using that.
I really, really, really, really, really hate to say this. The pic looks good; anatomy is solidfying nicely, the pose looks very natural, and his choice of outfit is great XD HOWEVER...even though you have the pose down well and it fits the perspective of the roof (which is one of the biggest pitfalls)...it looks a bit odd that he's sitting on the angle of the roof with his leg pointing sideways. I know he's leaning on the one arm, but just for balance, I would think he'd be sitting on the roof with his legs pointing down the slope, not across, just for stability. As in, the way you drew him would more suit sitting on the right part of the roof.
It's coming along so nicely I hate to say anything at all ^ ^;;
One small additional note is that the collarbones are very straight as you have them; they have a weird bit of curve. I wouldn't draw them as sharply curved as they are here, but a slight parenthesis shape with a dip at the end might look a little more natural.
Havva good week!
