Screaming for anatomy practice

18 min read

Screams and how they distort the face. I think these ended up being mostly primal screams, the kind that happen on horror movie posters.

Fear screams distort the brows with worry. Angry screams distort the brows with, well, anger, and bare the "fangs" more. Anguished screams pull the lower lips down. It's amazing how easy it is to tell them apart even if you don't realize what the differences are.

(If you post drawings from any stock here, do check the stock artist's rules.)

If you stumble across good neck stock, especially with good shadows, I'd love it if you'd post a link in the comments.

(Other parts of the body will get the same treatment at some point.)

How do people do it?

2 min read

Along with teal and raspberry. Which, looking at the few color pics I've done, I didn't even need to say.

It always felt a bit weird uploading stuff that didn't have to do with the Blood's Masquerade novel under the BloodsMasquerade name. Now I don't have to feel weird. Though the novel is still being worked on as I read through Save the Cat and The Writer's Journey which are about story structure. Structured stories. What a concept!

My delightful daughter

is coming to visit! Yay! As much as I think I'll be able to do a page while she visits, probably won't happen. But I can plan out the next chapter which I need a break for soon anyway. So I'll do that!

Happiness is a warm latte

| Gothic Pink |

Lattes are always in the plans for the birthday day!

And work but it's only 4 hours and it's still fun even if I'm mostly putting bagels, breads and cookies on trays to bake in the grocery store bakery. (And toting very heavy boxes in and out of the freezer.)

I *really* need to get Blood's Masquerade done so this account isn't just about the graphic novel mentioned in the book! I'm on the final scenes trying to get all the characters to do what they need to in ways that are natural to them

When I get to the end I'll reward myself by editing the first scene so I can put it up here and get rid of what's there!

(Next step, take down the Christmas decorations on the page!)

How do people pick new names so quickly? It's taken me this long. And then I name myself after food. Star Trek would be more revealing.
