Trapped in nostalgia

crantzI keep looking at my old art and comics and being caught up in memories and enjoyment and I keep not working on the actual art I have to do now.
That said, I've learned why my old comics have more dynamic posing than my recent ones - I found a scan of an unfinished one from my youth and I used to construct and pose bodies completely differently, so I'm going to return to that.
I turned 40 this past 5th and it was a nice birthday with good food and company. No complaints!
On my birthday weekend I went to Winnipeg to watch my mom participate in boat races and she did very well, almost placing on the podium! I was very proud. I spent most of it sitting in my chair with its canopy and refusing to move under any circumstance or eat or drink anything so I wouldn't have to use the terrifying port-a-potties.
Saw many delightful dogs too.
Next week I'll be back in the pottery studio - got a lot of plans for that! Including gonna make little tiles OH MY GOD I finally remembered what I kept forgetting to buy! A square cookie cutter! Thanks, everyone!
I'll do a movie round up soon. It's gonna be friggin' huge.

I always construct the bodies too big for the paper now, which is neither an immediate nor an advanced mistake to make. :D

I have a tip for that, if'n you want - before drawing the body, mark on the paper the three points - the top, the midpoint, and the bottom.
