Attacking the Wall Again
/Tentative camera angle
This picture of Buddy airlifting his friends over the border wall has been a real learning opportunity. What I envisioned so clearly as a dramatic action shot has become a major lesson in the School of Hard Knocks — I understand that my perspective and composition exist only in my ego. I can easily imagine the picture I want, but when I start to draw and paint, I lose touch with my vision. So, this is my fifth or sixth version of this scene. I think it could be improved by moving the camera below the kids so that we’re looking up at them when the soar overhead. I’ll try that tomorrow.
It’s after work now and I’m on my chill time. I usually draw or watch art or food videos or play with some software (Artrage, Procreate, etc.) Tonight I’m going to repaint this picture using Adobe Fresco. I know…I’m off searching for the Holy Grail again, that magic software that fits my brain like a silken glove. That’s the way I roll. I’m a searcher.
