Working For Myself For A Change

MAY 21, 2015
A detail from one of my new drawings.
(Work in Progress.)

Two More Details From The Same New Piece.
I love to enlarge parts of my drawings in Photoshop. The textures, when seen up close are amazing. These simple graphite scrawls, smudges of watercolor and colored pencil create an entire world beyond my intentions. Not unlike those fantastic macro photos of tiny creatures who live in our eyebrows.
I am fascinated to discover in these enlargements how much my pencil leads--especially the colored pencils--skip across the bumpy textural surfaces of the drawing paper.
