The paper was stained when I drew on it and I'm not sure how that might have changed the way I drew it. He's not quite as refined as I had first imagined and I wasn't happy with it at first. The graphite pencil added a little fun movement in its messy application. The axe … Continue reading Distorted Ozs #10
More Distorted Ozs & a confession
In a recent conversation with my drawing teacher, he again expressed that these characters are starting to take on lives, but will only live if I put them in a story. I argued that I wasn't interested to do so, but this last batch of drawings seem a little flat to me. Maybe, they are … Continue reading More Distorted Ozs & a confession
Once, When I Found This Cool Hat – The Hollow Ones #26
Funny how this floppy, dusty top hat floats around my imagination. Perhaps part of me is still stuck in the 1800s. With all the anxiety revolving around Covid 19 (This image drawn on March 16th, 2020), my mind must be looking for connections to make some sense of it all. The only conclusion I can … Continue reading Once, When I Found This Cool Hat – The Hollow Ones #26
What If We're The Aliens? – The Hollow Ones #26
I intended something else for this, but the black pastel took over and changed the shape of the head... it suddenly looked alien, instead of human. Then I started to question if all my heads looked alien. This wasn't so much self-doubt as it was fascination. I have a belief that we often draw from … Continue reading What If We're The Aliens? – The Hollow Ones #26
Temptation – The Hollow Ones #24
Here she is again, only sometime further in her career... career in what? I don't know. My imagination says she's some sort of spy, a female James Bond type. In control of her decisions, but not free of her emotions... just like him. Here she is the temptress in her cool dress, in a space … Continue reading Temptation – The Hollow Ones #24
Dangerous Elegance – The Hollow Ones #23
I did another version of this pretty lady a few days ago and I find the image keeps coming back as if I'm not entirely finished figuring out what she wants to say. Is she trolling the ballroom? Is she confident or scared? Is she a predator or victim? What does this reflect from my … Continue reading Dangerous Elegance – The Hollow Ones #23
The Covidiot – The Hollow Ones #30
I read that a few new words are being entered into the new Webster dictionary, "Covidiot" being one. I couldn't resist drawing one. The Covidiot, as I understand it, is someone now understanding/respecting the importance of social distancing right now. I decided to take it a step further and draw him as a purposefully self-blinded … Continue reading The Covidiot – The Hollow Ones #30
Am I? – The Hollow Ones #29
Sitting in my studio-office all day, I'm starting to lose perspective of who I am. The uncertainty of what comes next, in regards to school, work, life, in general, is all a little too stressful. Well, that really doesn't do this feeling justice. It's much more existential angst than anything. What will I do, if … Continue reading Am I? – The Hollow Ones #29
Hobo Chic – The Hollow Ones #28
I needed to give this one a hat and the rest came from that. I love the floppy looking top hats from the Victorian era. Usually a dusty brown or black. I felt the blue gave it a modern feel. Another idea was crowding this one as I drew it and I needed it done. … Continue reading Hobo Chic – The Hollow Ones #28
She Enters The Room And Everything Stops – The Hollow Ones #27
I'm sure I'm not done with this female character in The Hollow One's series. As I was wondering what to draw today, she came into view... as she was entering through the door of my studio-office. I stopped meditating and a few ideas started racing in with her. Dimension: 9" (23cm) x 12" (30cm) Prints … Continue reading She Enters The Room And Everything Stops – The Hollow Ones #27
