Lamps and Screens

Hit a block and can't bring myself to pay attention to the drawings I should be working on. So I decided to draw my lamp. I also decided to try and draw big. It's 2000x2600 and it amazes me that that translates into only 6x8 inches. I'm not sure how professionals can stand to work even bigger than this. I saw an illustration by someone today with the original width (or maybe it was height?) of 7000.

But I suppose I won't mind sitting around for extended periods to work on giant works once I get a flat screen monitor. I'll be able to tolerate sitting up for much longer because my neck (which already gets recurring pains because of an injury last year) and shoulders won't tire out from me looking up all the damn time because this current manila behemoth of a monitor is so INMAHFACE. Literally. It's not even a foot away. I can only view about the bottom half comfortably. It's also so old that occasionally the screen will get this pink or blue (or both) tinge to it and I've also noticed the display changes its position and size every other time I turn on the comp. Needless to say it makes me paranoid that any day now my screen will be kaput.

Back to toying with my lamp.
