Telling a Story
Added 2022-11-09 18:03:21 +0000 UTCTo make the most of a drawing, I like to tell a story about the forms I render.
And then...
...not tell a soul what the story was.
Mayber I'll think of a flock of sheep on a country road.
As my car moves forward, the flock separates to either side -- only to rush back together tighter than ever as I pass by.
Notice how the lesser forms in my drawing of the knee rush around the kneecap and "flock" right back into the calf and shinbone below.
Try drawing a simple story about an arrangement of forms, and see what it does for your art.
You might find it brings a certain something to the piece that might not have been there otherwise...
Something that might well be the very thing that separates you from the crowd.
With love,
Steve
