Today is the reveal day for my Interpret This work. I found this months challenge to be the hardest one so far. Most likely due to the fact that I really did not like the chosen photograph. After coming up with the initial sketches and discarding them pretty quickly, I set about with a very loose plan. Keeping the work small enough to finish within the months time. About a third of the way finished I decided I did not like it at all.! I found myself losing focus and trying too hard to make it work! There was no way to start another one now. So, I kept on and it is finished. I look at it and see so many things I might have done differently. A real lesson in planning for me! I usually work out a drawing and then go from there. This time I didn't, and I think it shows. Unfocused. Too loose. In the end this is an important lesson learned for me. Looking back at the photograph there are things there I should have centered on. Parts that I might have felt I liked better! Taking more time to find the right fit for me.
