Statue Study~
Been a while since I have done anything creative so this is an attempt to get back into it a little, no video this time though of process. Used mainly graphite and acrylic paint on canson mixed media sketching paper 11x14 (edited digitally slightly)
Time:3-4hrs
Vivid Sydney lights up the harbour bridge and the Sebel Pier One. The colours are constantly shifting, but managed to catch them both purple at the same time.

Hello my dear friends :)
I wanted to share this work with you.... unfortunatly i didn´t draw too much this year (btw, one of the oddest years of my life) but still wanted to be present .
Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible.
color study for smellements. I don't think this actually counts as a "color study" but, um, WHATEVER
noise is good.
that one phrase sent me down a rabbit hole that I feel so stupid to have not realized sooner.
chroma and luma noise in the right amounts are beautiful and add an extra dimension of texture.
the line we swallowed, hook line and sinker, of noise is bad has resulted in us chasing a dragon massaged by marketing teams. they're not pure evil though. we only have ourselves to blame, it's what we asked for.
but come down this little side path with me for a bit, populated by super geeky digicam fanatics and a whole new world of malarkey opens up.
not those looking for a cheap alternative to film. no, those guys are lost to the world hunting for their next fix.
this malarkey involves appreciating the ccd for it's inherent beauty, warts and all. the noise, the small file sizes that accentuate it, it's a whole thing.
it's a fun new brush to colour malarkey with.

...I had to wait a very long time for my lunch, so I had some time to get my cam out....
I wish you all a great weekend!!!!!!!!!
You probably thought what I did: If I post to an award group that requires 3 awards, then I should expect 3 awards, on average. Obviously, any given photo will get more or less, but you figure on average you should get as much as you give, right? WRONG!!
I’ve done a systematic study of how many awards the different award groups give out, and the bottom line is this: The half of Flickrites who do actually give out rewards get nothing in return from the other half of the Flickrites who post and run.
If you’re posting and running, shame on you. If you’re posting and being honest, then you should check out the list below to see which award groups are best and worst.
Details of the study are below; I welcome any data that the group admins wish to share, or from anyone would like to validate these findings. I realize my sample is small and would like to get more data...
-----------
Purpose: Do you get as many rewards as you give in Flickr award groups?
Method: Sample 20 Flickr award groups. Go to page 24 and count the number of awards given to the first 12 pictures; this is deep enough in the pool that awards have stopped, but not so deep that many images have been pulled. I validated a sample of 12 was sufficient.
Result: From a total sample of 240 images posted to award groups, you get 59% of the awards you give out, or roughly you have to give two awards in order to get one. There is huge variation amongst the groups, as you’ll see in table below.
Discussion: At a practical level, it appears that there are two things that contribute to a higher percentage of reciprocity. First, group cohesion makes a difference—for example Shining Star has a relatively higher percentage because many of the members are contacts with each other. Second, a mechanical pool sweeper, if properly used, makes a HUGE difference, e.g. Global Village 2 and Flickr Hearts. The results also show that there are lots of Flickrites who don’t play by the rules. In the case of group awards, without a pool sweeper there is absolutely no penalty for posting and running because there’s no way to get caught.
Group averages… For example, A+++ has 70%, meaning that for every A+++ award you give, you get 0.7 back… Some of the averages are above 100% because of sampling error, and because of multiple invites.
