HaychBe


I've had creative block and motivation issues re: art for awhile now. So tonight I thought I'd just sketch my little wooden art mannequin, keep it simple. My sketching skills are pretty rusty! Anyway I got bored halfway through, and this is the result. Incorporating some imagined with the real... kind-of like a bizarre self portrait.

I used a couple of coins to do some rubbings under the top to add interesting details. This is something I want to experiment more with.

Only HB pencil was used, with varying pressure. I couldn't be bothered to find my other pencils. Next time I think I'll use deeper ones such as 2B, 4B, 6B to make it easier to suggest light/shade etc. :)

Haha! Mrs Dogue's face is a crack-up!

I like the spontaneous evolution in this drawing, it looks like you said, 'hang the rules!' and just let the drawing unfold of its own accord.

*waddles off to sip cheese and drink wine in a Parisian cafe* - if one can 'sip' cheese :P
