My friend Ryan named this picture, jokingly because it looks like they're in bed. But I think the name is sort of fitting if you interpret it as one person alone with their thoughts before they go to bed. When I'm asleep my thoughts flip between day-dreamy and happy and sad. I think this picture captures that.
Our art teacher has this really cool video camera hooked up to the projector on the white board. We can put up giant paper and project bigger versions of pictures and we even had each other model and draw real time on the board. It's really difficult to model when you're laughing and joking around so much, and I wasn't trying to be too accurate, so the faces turned out really weird. We decided to layer two people on there. I ended up with this:
I set a goal for myself that I was going to try and salvage this crazy sketch and make it into something worth taking a second glance at. I'm not even sure if I quite accomplished that, although I think I definitely improved the piece. I will post pictures showing the progression, however I really only spent about an hour painting this.
