Wow, I have NOT been posting here. This is what happens when there are too many SMs to keep up with, BUT. I shall try to post more WIPs and art ruminations to ye olde tumblrmachine and thereby goosing the muse.I honestly thought I’d forgotten how to draw (and frankly, the jury’s still out on this but on we trudge). So at 2 a.m. a few days ago, I picked up a wee scrap of watercolor paper and tried to draw a snake. It sucked. I dumped powdered graphite on it and smushed it around. Erased some spots. A face emerged.I popped open Pinterest and found a pic that looked a bit like that smoky ghost haunting the page. Hours later – after much reworking and the addition of water-soluble graphite and touches of acrylic pens and paints – this is what I got. It’s a whopping 6″ square.It’s not awful, but took much noodling to get it anywhere close to something presentable. At least it got there eventually! Small victories. Now, maybe I should work on something bigger than a floppy disk. (Remember those? I bet ya don’t, heh.) -- source link
