A 5 Minute Me. - Day 24

DAY TWENTY FOUR RESULTS:

Face Shape: Almost perfect. I obviously didn’t complete the chin though.

Eyes: They’re not that bad, but they don’t resemble my eyes at all and they lack detail.

Nose: I was only able to finish half of the nose, but from what I had done it looks like it had some potential. I don’t know, the way things have been going with the drawings I wouldn’t be surprised if I just totally fucked it up.

Mouth: Once again, N/A.

Details: There isn’t much detail in this 5 Minute Me. It’s getting ridiculous. The only thing I can comment on is the mapping out of the shading, but even that is poorly done. I’m getting unbelievably disappointed and discouraged by this.

Final Thoughts: I’m getting so preoccupied with not doing a shitty 5 Minute Me that all of these illustrations are coming out like shit. It’s disheartening and makes my approach to the project one of lacking faith and hollow expectations. I think I need to do the drawings earlier, because I get so caught up in other work I have going on that I’m getting late into the night doing these and maybe the fatigue is weighing into the quality of the work.

DAY TWENTY FOUR PIECE:
Knownliness. (written in 4mins 44secs)

I need to be alone again
and feel the warmth of knowing more than the cold of
assumption
and blank sharing.
Let’s face it, we were closer when we didn’t know each other,
and you were a lot more exciting
when your stories were your voice.

I can’t listen as well as I can imagine

but I’ve heard my story a million times
and frankly
I’m getting bored of telling it to
people with no more imagination than their want to act silly and have fun.

My question is this:
When the fad is over
and your cloaks are worn,
our sky diminished and flags long torn,
how well will you be known when you are not blankly sharing
and we
both are alone?

be.
