Simple tracing in ArtRage (iPad app) that I did today, using the app's digital pencil tool and a somewhat more precise physical stylus than what I had been using before.
Even with its obvious faults I'm pleased at how recognizable the rhinos are and how the composition and coloring seem to be okay. The photo that this is partly based on had obscure areas where I had to invent missing unfamiliar features, not all of them convincingly. It was surprising how important and critical details that I imagined were there turned out not to be when I looked closer. If you refresh your memory of rhinos by looking at a few photos of them you will see how unrealistic some of my simplifications here are, especially the uniform and markedly different shades of gray for them, which I chose to make it immediately clear there are two rhinos. As they browse together on a yellow savanah, the youngster is as close to its parent(?) as it can get and in the photo their very similar sunlit and shadowy grays blend them together.
Here is the photo that I used for this drawing (Thank you, Exodus Travels [agency]):
I've started using my journal also as a sketch and notebook. This is one of the sketches I've done in it in the last week.
On the opposite page you can see my work-in-progress pencil rubbings page.
week 2 of lisa congdon's class was centered on geometrics. here are circles. again, this is a lot harder than it looks. but this kind of drawing is more my style. i love filling pages with shapes.
Carla Sonheims' Imaginary Creatures Class: Day 1 blob drawings.
Not my favorite imaginary creatures, but at least I completed the assignment.
Lesson learned- I hated this one at first. I screwed up the line drawing of her face and tail, got pissed off, and threw it back in my bag. It kicked around in there for a few days like an ugly tattoo that won't fade, until i finally decided to give it another go and improvise over my mistakes.
I really need to start coloring some of these mofos in. The drawing part is easy... the colored pencil bit takes a long time and cramps my hand.
Does anyone remember doing those symmetry patterns at school? The ones we did with just a pencil and a ruler and no curves, just straight lines.
(There is probably a word for these patterns, but I can't remember what it is. If anyone knows, please remind me!)
Well, I thought I'd have a go at doing this digitally in photoshop, and TBH, it wasn't as hard as I thought it might be. I started off making the original piece, then flipped the images around, messed around with colours, then moved on to distorting it.
I had lots of fun making these.

I made this in to a card for my Frank Sinatra-loving friend's birthday. I normally avoid drawing people at all costs, but gave it a go for this...

berkeley bowl, it took me a few months to warm up to you, but now i'm pretty much in love. all i have to do is put on my armor of peace, love and understanding and get ready to say "excuse me" 495 times.
Willoughby's Print Booklets 1920s This example still has one B&W print of my family inside, still perf-attached. A lovely depiction of lower Manhattan. See the store in the 70s: www.flickr.com/photos/badwsky/475358259/
One of the two drawings I submitted to this year's Scottish Drawing Competition. In the exhibition at the Paisley Art Gallery and Museum, until the 26th November.
I wanted to try out a few of the leaf tangles I'd come across, along with a couple I came up with (someone else is bound to have done them before me, but for now, they're out of my head). I've used Verdigogh, Ash Leaf and Pokeleaf. Other than the Pokeleaf, the others all look like Australian natives and I plan to do a very Aussie style tangle incorporating these in the future.
