Well, I got my colors out today. It was a start.
The nice thing was I got these two beauties in the mail. Hayao Miyazaki says that Japanese pencils are better than my Generals, so I figured I'd better give them a try.
On the bottom is a portrait of Elihu Vedder, the fellow who illustrated the Rubaiyat. This photo is on the back cover of a book about his work. I would love to have a copy of his Rubaiyat, but I haven't yet found an affordable version. Until I find one, this will have to do. There is a whole section on the work, at least.
There are two more Mondays left in the semester. Maybe the magic will happen after that.
