I painted that just now. It's inspired by a photo of Mariko Shinoda, but I changed the face and some details.
Instead of my project research, I've been spending time doing things like this...........
I thought carefully about the reason why I'm always inclined to paint women in swimsuits or little clothing. I've come up with a couple of valid reasons I've never consciously been aware of:
1. I don't like painting clothes so a bikini has significantly less material to paint
2. I've only ever been interested in painting the face and skin so having to paint clothes and other things just distract me from the main purpose for painting.
By the way, it snowed today for the first time (a proper snowing) in London!
It's my first time experiencing a country's first snowfall.
I really don't feel like doing any work. I have no appetite and yet cannot stop eating what's in front of me. I get instances of depression and/or anxiety. Often feel anti-social. I hope these gloomy days pass by soon...
