Back to Lines




Okay, I'm stuck. I'll admit it. I thought I knew where my drawing needed to go next, but it hasn't quite worked...yet.

I like this shape, this organic mass of squiggles and smears, a thing I cut out and kept from the last drawing. The combination of charcoal, pencil and felt tip pen seems to work. I like the blend of soft greys highlighted by thin, black lines. But now what?

As I place it on a new blank sheet of paper, there's something interesting happening with the shadows it's creating. I start to outline them, then turn them into other shapes hoping they will connect with the original. I'm not totally committed to it yet, so I think I may try something else. I'll keep this new drawing though. One just never knows what it may turn into.
