Artist's Comments
So there I was, lying on the floor, taking pictures for a self portrait. Hope came up and blew a bubble with her bubble gum - it was something that she had just learned to do that day, and had asked if I could take a photo of her to prove she could do it. I quite liked the photo, so I drew a picture from it.
In real life, it's got a bit better range of darks and lights than you see here, but it's still fairly light because it's all done with one HB pencil. I don't know why - the drawing just spoke to me and said that it had to be done with one pencil, freehand. Not fiddling about with grids or measuring does make it much more fun to draw, but it means that it doesn't follow the ref photo 100%. It's close enough for rock and roll though  It's about 11x8 on Bienfang Bristol Vellum. |
