Aww danggit, I didn’t plan far enough ahead, the weight bearing leg kind of needs to be where that pipe is… LOL

“Young Diana”

Anna Hyatt Huntington, 1876-1973.

New York, 1923.

Even though I’ve made 6 albums so far, and none of them have really had any commercial success… I’m still doing it after all these years because I have a belief. I think it’s worth doing. I think that the world needs hopeful songs. I think I have a sickness - a drive that makes me still do this after all this time. This is my calling in life, and I shouldn’t give it up.

Lyrics:

Backgrounds are something that I

can never seem to draw right

It was like a battle that I couldn’t win

Cars, scooters, buses, trains

Not as easy to draw as they claim

Am I just not cut out for this?

Maybe I just need it to be explained to me in a way

I under stand

So Thank you Joko

I was going loco

not knowing why my 2-point didn’t look right

Thank you Joko, cause now I know-oh

that a composition zone has a 60% cone of vision

Iso, 1 point, 2 point, 3

I drew distorted as could be

It always looked so bad

How did the pros all do it?

Was there some secret to it?

Or did it need brain cells that I just didn’t have?

Oh, maybe I just need it to be explained to me in a way I under stand

So thank you, Joko

For being so-oh

Patient and kind while correcting my lines

Thank you Joko, cause now I know-oh

that a composition zone has a 60% cone of vision

‘Cause I’ve read a lot of books, and I even took a few classes but I never could get it all figured out

When I asked around, who’s the one that can

teach perspective best, they all said

Joko’s the man

But don’t expect an easy A

For you to make the top grade

You better show an understanding of these 5:

Composition, Structure

Details, Design, and the hardest

is always the Quality of Line

Don’t give up and stick to it

Joko and friends’ll help you through it

And you’ll use perspective the rest of your life

And then you’ll be free to draw whatever world you see in your mind’s eye correctly

So thank you, Joko

(Thank you, Joko)

For being So-oh

(Remember everyone, bring references)

Patient and kind when my lines weren’t right

Thank you Joko

(And change for the copy machine)

I was going loco

not knowing why my 2-point didn’t look right

Thank you Joko, cause now I know-oh

that a composition zone has a 60% cone of vision

My line quality score is going to be atrocious, but it’s finished. Hah! Totally celebrating with lunch at Holy Grill after class.
