Getting Practical,<\/h3>\n

or how to procrastonate…<\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]The script for the graphic novel about Anna Blaman isn\u2019t there yet, which gives me plenty of time for research, my favourite pass time. I\u2019m always learning, studying, watching some tutorial, analysing great films & directors or reading some book(serie). Trying to get my head around it before I let my hands play. I’ve learned a lot from this way of procrastination, like the importance experimenting and relevance of actually using your hands to really get to the heart of the matter…[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1423″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ offset=”vc_col-sm-offset-0″][vc_column_text]I enjoy learning anatomy (reading books and following along on www.proko.com<\/a>), getting technical on perspective and binging youtubes on the brilliance of visual storytelling in movies. (I can highly recommend Every Frame a Painting<\/a> and Channel Criswell<\/a>!)[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]For this project I will try to combine this urge for theoretical exploration with necessity and joy pratical experiments. I have a plan….[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]First of all I will enhance and use my interest in facial anatomy and expression and project it on Anna. Looking for what makes her look and feel like her while enjoying Proko\u2019s Charicature drawing course<\/a> by Court Jones. And maybe revisiting parts of my favourite books on the expression and body language. Practising making the gained knowledge practical (there seems to be a huge gap between knowing how to do something and actually being able to do something… Has anyone else noticed that?)[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1427″ img_size=”large” css=”.vc_custom_1533528517973{margin-bottom: 5px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1533528737301{margin-top: 5px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]But this project is perfect to indulge on my interest in storytelling composition and urban sketching too. In daily life I rarely make time for urban sketching, while I really enjoy it! The sketch in this post is from a drawing vacation\/ workshop with Inma Serrano<\/a> in Seville. But now I\u2019ve found this old little city guide (by Jan Oudenaarden and Rien Vroegindeweij) for a lovely walking route through my own neighbourhood focussing on the the history of the writers of Rotterdam among which Anna Blaman. It\u2019s even called De Blamanroute<\/a>! If you\u2019re in the neighbourhood too, you\u2019ll find me drawing along the way. Otherwise I\u2019ll keep you posted via this blog.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1448″ onclick=”link_image”][vc_column_text]So I will be roaming the city. Studying composition in real life and in story\u2019s by master directors and graphic storytellers I admire or wonder about. I\u2019ll be revisiting my thesis \u2018The importance of seemingly meaningless details\u2019 too, translating it and learning as much as I can on the storytelling powers of composition. So stay tuned if you\u2019re interested…<\/p>\n
