Octopus's Garden

Sat Aug 29, 2009, 10:05 PM
  • Mood: Tired
  • Listening to: Take On Me - A-Ha
  • Reading: Nothing But Money: How The Mob Infiltrated Wall St
I plan to try to draw my own loose interpretation of the song "Octopus's Garden" by The Beatles.
[link]

The main reason why is that I've wanted to for a while, but I've been putting it off mostly due to my own sort of apathy towards trying to draw something lately. After reading a stupid required reading self-help book for a class, however, it occurred to me that the main reason I don't want to draw it is because I'm "afraid" (not literally) of trying to draw something I don't think I'm capable of doing. So I'm now going to try drawing the large image at least once a day until it gets much, much better. woot.

As it turns out, I'm actually better at drawing an octopus than I thought I was.

Also, it's good practice to stop me from flip-flopping from project-to-project.



Oh, and if anyone knows how the zooming/font adjustment works on the new macs in terms of scrolling, please tell me, because I keep accidentally shrinking and enlarging the page, and I haven't figured out what I'm accidentally pressing/doing when that happens. It's really annoying, actually...
