I need to start drawing more Loomis heads. I have almost forgotten how to draw them. This time I didn’t need to figure out what to draw. I drew ponytails to every female head until I learn to draw other kind of hair.
This was hard. I thought I just draw few lines but couldn’t make it look anything publishable. Had to watch other’s drawings and check Google’s image search until I got idea what to do. I don’t recommend searching images with word “scrape”.
Tried to make it look less dirty than the draft was. The idea was not dirty at all. Just realized what it could look like during drafting. Idea was “Salt-Y” with fallen salt dispenser and salt making it look like Y. Maybe I should have drawn different shaped dispenser but I am used to salt dispensers looking like that. Still in. Two weeks to go.
Homestudio setup is almost ready. Still need synth stand extension for Beatstep Pro. Been postponing it because I wasn’t sure if I should add something else to order. Last weekend I decided to go with what I currently have. I wasn’t too happy with Pulse 2 but started to get it. Pulse 2 should have oscillator drift option. It has super stable DCOs. Three super stable oscillators don’t sound as good as three drifting oscillators. Everything else is amazingly good. If they decide to update firmware I would like to have more modulation destinations added. LFO 2 speed and more modulation matrix slot amounts would be nice.
Now I have set of synths all connected and easily available. There is more eurorack than originally planned. Minibrute 2 wasn’t in plan. Planned to have setup with synths I can fully control with midi and use presets. That went away after learning Krell patches. Still tempted to get 2600 euros west coast modular system but that has to wait for now. Being able to save and tweak performances is handy when making songs takes few days. That is why I prefer full midi control and presets. Eurorack has its own advantages like having more complex signal paths and modulations and random rhythms.
There are still things to be upgraded but the main parts are there now and I can start to learn use them properly. Want to play notes more than I have done before. Adding notes to sequence is easier but it lacks the human feel. Because of that there might be break for new music videos. Probably make some generative music when Beatstep Pro is added to setup. But the main goal of new studio was making it easier to play the music not just creating sequences.
Talking about upgrading. I am considering getting 61 key midi keyboard. Not because I really need it but because I have room for one now. If Arturia decides to release limited edition all black keys version of Keylab 61 I might have to get one. All black keys look good as you can see from picture above. Looking cool is most important. Already have black Minibrute 2S and Beatstep Pro.
Yes. That is turkey from Thankskilling. I think it is turkey. I haven’t seen the movie. It was the first thing coming into mind from today’s prompt. I am past halfway point of Inktober 2022. It is harder to find time and motivation when there are other things I want to do. But I will do the whole thing. I hope I don’t get drawing fatigue after this. I don’t normally draw black and white or these topics. It is making this harder. Not that drawing this minimalistic drawings is hard. Starting to draw is the hard part.
Almost at halfway point of Inktober 2022. Prompts where you can draw something that physically exists are bit easier. There is something you can check what it looks like.
