Am I right in thinking your time away gave you new energy and perspective?
ReplyDeleteJust a thought here and not a criticism....but I wonder if now, that we all own digital cameras and have become accustomed to cropping imagery, if that familiarity has crossed over into drawing? I say this because it took me awhile to notice you'd done this with the right hand figure. Back in our pre digital era, someone would have asked you why. I think about symbols, signs and perceptions
ReplyDeleteand yes, I like them both. The sepia rendering of the models face is very sensitive with that slight tilt
now back to work before the squad comes looking
AH, I think it gave me a lot of pent-up creative energy.
ReplyDeletePA, you are so right. One can see the difference in artwork created after the advent of photography. Personally, I tend to do a lot of cropping even when I draw because I gravitate to a feeling of solidity in my compositions (with the figure anchored to the page somehow)and I don't like little dangling bits of head, usually.
These poses were too short (around 30 minutes each) for what I was aiming at; maybe I'll go back to them and work on them later.
And I'm glad you snuck away from work for a moment.
