Ah, Summertime

I haven't posted in a bit, been outside enjoying the Summer. I've also been reading the giant, three volumes of John Richardson's Life of Picasso. It is a very detailed account of every aspect of the painters life but the period I found most interesting was that pivotal, but amazingly brief period of the explosion of Modernism across Europe (mostly Paris) from the beginning of the 20th Century until the outbreak of WWI in 1914.


The guy had a great head and I've been doing some drawings of him. I refined things down to a side and front to take into Maya and model a 3D Picasso (appropriate for the inventor of Cubism), which I will show you next time.












Now get outside and enjoy the weather, it will be Autumn before you know it.
