Works in Progress are like....

... remodeling houses. From what my granddad who was a builder has always told me, it's much easier to build a new house from scratch, than to remodel an existing one. I find that is pretty much the same concept with drawings. When I start a drawing and then it comes out like crap in the middle, I stop working on it. But it's not even always the ones that are crappy. Like my Aaliyah drawing took a long time to finish, much longer than it should have. I finished that months after I started it. And there's another drawing I'm working on right now that I'm finally starting to finish up. But I started it around the same time as Aaliyah. And then it becomes a chore to finish it. But anyhow, I just had that on my mind.

Monday, Monday...

Oh yes Monday has returned. Yesterday was a deep day for me. By deep I mean, I saw some discoveries and revelations and I'm just glad we're on into a new week. Monday is my day to of course work. It's also the one day of the week I can NOT play video games. I cut myself off from video games every Monday. It's just and exercise I do. Today I'm going to continue working on a really important drawing. So far I'm happy with it. I'm also still working on my Paul Walker drawing, but that's just because I haven't been working on it since my last update on my blog.

On Saturday I went to see Clash of the Titans. To be honest it's worth a first time watch, but it wasn't all that. Having seen both versions; the 1981 version and the new one, there were a few things about the new one that sucked that I like about the old one. I'll say a little without giving away spoilers. I liked of course the Medusa fight scene, it was a bit more entertaining than the first one, and I think longer also, but in my opinion she looked a little too CG for me whereas in the first one she was played by a real actress. But the way she looked was better in the new one. Honestly that was the scene I was most anticipating watching. And Perseus.... OMG! What a loser and an idiot! If you've seen it you know what I mean, or if you haven't you will know what I mean. This guy was so stupid and he kept doing the same thing over and over again! It got to the point that I wanted him to get killed! And on that note Sam Worthington.... I know I'm trailing off here, but why is it that Hollywood has to severely saturate an actor's career? I mean I just saw Avatar last year and now I'm already seeing him in a vaguely but still similar enough movie! We couldn't get someone else to play Perseus? Sheesh! I'm tired of the guy already. And his acting was ummm pretty bad now that I think about it. It was kind of plastic.

Anyway, not much else to say about the movie, but get your own opinions of it. It was worth a first time watch though.
