Patrick Stewart is a God.

I am trying to draw everyday.  Lately I have been taking photos of my television with my digital camera and then just using the view box of the camera for reference.  After that I scan the drawing and then post it.  I have no doubt that there is an easier way to do this but this means I can sit anywhere in the house and draw.

I love drawing because it shows me how different the seeing and the believing parts of the brain are.  Seriously.  They inform each other but they are different. Seeing is not believing and believing is not seeing.  This is how we can be fooled.  This is why we make lousy witnesses. But if you really work on seeing, and letting go of what you think something should look like, you can render what everyone can recognize, (although, it's hard to say what their brains will do the information!)

This is an post I made way back in 2007 or so about that stuff, that I put in my wordpress blog about this stuff.  I got to teach an art class at my son's school.  Anyway, if you are interested here's the link. the link.  I titled it: Patrick Stewart is a God.  When is that not true?
