process of addition
added to monday's sketch over the last couple days. my favorite iteration is midway through the process. too bad it's been obliterated by the ensuing bits, but that's all part of the fun.

these sketches were a good exercise in continuing to work on a drawing (and knowing when it's done). taking photos of the different stages reminded me a bit of the printmaking process, with all its steps and forced stops along the way. my favorite part of the sketch is the spiky plant at the bottom. it's not completely accurate, but i really got into the play of shapes, shadows, and how it organically emerged from the drawing. funny how the loose bits came together so well--letting the image emerge, rather than obsessing about the accuracy of details resulted in a more real (and realistic) drawing. i'm hoping to take this kinetic feeling into more of my work.

(happy tax day y'all)
