All right, these were done a year ago (Fall 1999 and Spring 2000)


This here one is the earliest, some time in fall of 1999. I was just playing around with textural elements on a scratchboard.


This here one's a graphite drawing, done in winter/spring 2000. Really the only point in this one was to combine different styles of textures into one... odd... form...


This is a scratchboard done in Spring of 2000. The scratchboard was... uncooporative (notice the big white blotches where there's hatching), so I had to go ahead and use a pointalism technique for this one.

Any comments are welcome.

j/k
see this is stuff I cant come up with on my own. I just dont think like this. I see people do this amazing art but this??? I seriously wonder if the great artists on this board even have a warped enough mind to come up with nifty stuff like this.

heh you might be surprised how sane I am

When I am drawing or painting or doing anything of the sort, I use a very structured process that I have been taught since the art classes I took in grade school (started waaay back in kindergarten), and they're still teaching me in my studio classes: general to specific. Start with basic shapes, work the entire general image, and gradually get more specific (details, texture & shading).

However, when I draw these random images, I'm not necessarily thinking of what the resulting image will be, I just let it flow. That first scratchboard started out as simple light to dark tones in the upper-right corner, and I just decided to expand on it, changing it every now and again. With the graphite, I started in the upper left and worked my way through it like that.

I usually wouldn't draw where I don't have general proportions/shapes down before I start details, but that's part of the fun of drawing like this. I can then take the techniques that I used randomly in these pieces and use them in a more structured drawing

Wow-

Totally, This is absolutly amazing. The detail and definition is really really mind blowing, and I just love it!

I also like how you used white on balck, I feel it gives it slightly a more "careful" and light, delicate feel to it, Well done.

Keep up the fine work, I WANT to see more!!
