I put the wrong date on this one! It should read 365/17. I had forgotten I needed a regular piece of paper as the 16/17th shared one page of the calendar. I had been so proud of myself for not getting the date wrong on checks, etc., but today I was even confused as to the day of the week! Doing a Friday through Tuesday workshop is warping my brain. We are such creatures of habits and patterns. I am hoping this new pattern or spending 5 or 10 minutes each evening doing a drawing will become firmly entrenched long before the end of the year.
This sketch was drawn with a wooden matchstick that had been sharpened to an interesting point with a utility craft knife. I dipped it into a bottle of ink and skritched away. I like the character of the line on
this paper. The same drawing instrument on different papers acts and looks quite different.
Gosh, if that's the biggest mistake you make this year, you will be way ahead of most of us! :)
ReplyDeleteLike the idea of the match stick as pen; need to experiment with other found items myself. So habitually trapped into the use of my Micron set I forget other tools can be utilized.
ReplyDeleteThank you for inspiring me to try something new.
ReplyDeleteI love the match stick drawing!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat I love about this drawing in particular is the feeling of conciousness. I feel maybe this one is done from life??? maybe?
