Crazy Lady sketch
Sorry I haven't posted lately. No excuses, just moving forward from here. This is one of my daily 30 minute sketches. I belong to a Facebook group called Urban Sketchers Midwest, and one of the members posted a drawing in which he scribbled as part of his skeching technique. I loved it so much that I decided to do the scribbling technique in one of my Crazy Lady series. After scribbling the hair, and then scribbling the background, I filled in part of the scribbles, just like I used to do when I was a kid. It was so much fun! Thanks to James Nutt for the inspiration.
Great idea incorporating scribbles. Love your Crazy Lady series!! Keep them coming!!
ReplyDeleteI like the squiggle background and nice shading.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing what you can create in 30 minutes.
Hi Karen, What a fun way to activate the drawing a bring all the elements together. I like how the hair morphs into the scribble and links the figure to the ground. And, the scribble has shape; fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your comments. I'm back to doing my 30 minute studies every single day. This one was lots of fun to do!
