GYSO Drawing Part 2 - Filler

Published: 2019-03-31

Introduction

Tim:
Roses are red

The sky is falling

This is the GYSO update post 2 for drawing

I’ll speak in rhyme

On your dime

It’s not a crime

Cus’ its quite sublime!

Thor:
Ooh boy, it’s going to be this way today. Hey! I’m Thor, and I’m not in speaking in poem today. Keep an eye on the rhyming form, and you’ll be quite a corn. Äch, you get what I mean. This is a part of the perpetual cycle of continuation. It’s perpetual and continuous for redundancy. Here’s a link to our previous, and first post. You probably aren’t reading this, because no one is reading our content. If you are, you are from the future. At least most probably.

What went right?

Tim:
What went right?

Well i’m glad you asked!

I’ll share my delight

The success of my past:

I eventually found

Some true fun in drawing

So here is another round

Of an empire falling!

The lessons went well

I regard them fondly

The progress I made was swell

Even though ellipses are wobbly

That’s all I can say

Poetry is a bit restrictive

But i’m not doing this for pay

So I can do whatever I want!

Thor:
I trodded along just fine, it was super satisfying to draw boxes using two point perspective and a ruler. Super-satisfying. Plotting out the course, making marks, drawing lines, using a pen, doing things with paper, making the lines over the one face, looking at the marks I made, feeling satisfied about the lines I made. It’s filler for redundancy. Today is just one of those days. I profoundly apologize. Im sorry. Please accept my apology. I really am sorry. I’m very very sorry for redundancy. What you’ll be seeing below is the second page of the exercise I did, where I didn’t actually draw the complete lines to the vanishing point. I found out that you don’t automatically make vertically aligned marks and lines even if you have a ruler. It just makes the badly aligned marks and lines very evenly uneven.

What went wrong?

Tim:
They say learn from your mistakes

Like reheated pancakes

I wanted to pick up the pace

But I learned this isn’t a race

The important thing is consistency

Habits are awesome, dontcha see?

I missed a day

But I didn’t dismay

Just get back on that horse

It’s not something you have to force

Because there are bound to be mistakes

Like reheated pancakes

Thor:
Well, I didn’t really have enough time to practice, well, at all. Therefore, not much progress. Also, ellipses! Ellipses everywhere were terrible. I tried using a round object to serve as the outline, but that worked out so-so-GYSO. It really doesn’t pertain to this, so I’ll just mention that it isn’t relevant to smash this paragraph from a state of smallness to a state of medium size. Here’s my bad ellipses.

What happens next?

Tim:
Looks like this is the end

Listen i’m not going to pretend

That we will become masters over a weekend

But I know our skills have deepened

Make sure to send

This to your best friend

So that you may upend

Years of procrastination…d

Thor:
You know, I’ve been thinking about this mandatory fun drawing thing. I’m still not really interested. It’s a genuinely fun process to work on these fundamentals. I can already see myself, once we get into studies, wanting to delve deep then. But when I’m doing boxes and two-point perspective and ellipses, that’s really all I want to focus on at a fundamental level.

Okay so, thanks for getting to here. Maybe you scrolled down all the way, not even looking at our practice material. You may have done so with your hands on a mouse. That mouse may be sitting on a mouse pad. Maybe you’re on a laptop and you’re using your fingers and muscles and I just wanted to know I really appreciate you using your muscles and brain neurons to visit this corner of the internet. This paragraph is longer than most of the work earlier in this piece. See you in two weeks!
