Pen Drawing, 1973 / Colorization, 2021
This was originally a school project. In 1973 I was living in Columbus, Ohio and making sales promotion calls for a paper distributor. One of my accounts was the Columbus College of Art & Design (CCAD) and my client was Bill Van de Velde, head of the Illustration and Design Department. I took two evening classes from him, this project was the first. The assignment was to do a strictly line drawing of as much stuff as you could cram in it. All the objects in the drawing were real things I had around my place. The pen drawing is just over 8½ x 10 inches. It was executed on a very smooth bristol board. I believe that I used technical pens on this piece.
I decided add color to this piece in early March of this year, 2021, and used SketchClub on my iPad to accomplish this. It took way more time than I expected! I’ve forgotten the actual colors of most of the items, so I just had to wing it. Hope you enjoy this.
