A Few More Sketches From This Past Winter: Part VII

 Lucky number seven.

Next time we get together it will be June.  Where, oh where did May go?

A Few More Drawings From This Past Winter: Part VI

 Part Veee-Aye, yet so much more...

As I am posting these series of sketches, I am also preparing several canvases in the studio.  Many of these drawings will eventually find their way onto those canvases.

Slowly chipping away at the stone...

A Few More Drawings From This Past Winter: Part V

 Sketchy sketches.

I'm working my way through a backlog of images of sketches I generated this past winter.  Here's another batch!

Time for the close ups.

Stay on target.  Stay on target...

A Few More Drawings From This Past Winter: Part IV

 Sketches with a Scantron multiple choice answer deal-eee-o.  I have taken many a test on those.  Another batch of drawings for your consideration.

2D or 3D next?  Who knows...?

A Few More Sketches From This Past Winter: Part III

 Another day. Another page of sketchbook drawings.

Enjoy!

Until next time!

A Few More Drawing From This Past Winter: Part II

 Another page from the sketchbook!

This particular page also has a word sketch for a potential word play/flow chart composition.  I don't keep those kinds of things in separate locations.  Words and images and grocery lists and reminders to pay bills all go in the same sketchbook together. 

Back to the images.

A few more installments of drawing are on the horizon.

Shapely Shapes and Other Considerations: Part V

Good ole 'Part Vee'. Here's the beginning of another canvas I have been working on recently.

This one started out as a partial sketch on a scrap piece of note card laying on my work bench.  I didn't crop out some of the extra stuff on the note card so you can get a sense of my filing system.

I put an orientation arrow on it to remind myself that this will also make a pretty good layer on one of my smaller canvases that I have been priming the last few days.

Anyway, the initial drawing/sketch took about two days to cut out of cardboard so I could have actual physical shapes to arrange on an actual canvas.  Here's the first configuration.  I had the circle/crescent shape stashed in one of several black trash bags that are full of cardboard shapes.  Right now I'm just test driving this configuration to see if I like it/respond to it.

About this time I decided I wanted created an opening/penetration in the lower right.  That took about a day in the studio to make those shapes and get them wrapped with fabric.

Then I prime the whole mess after attaching it to the surface of the canvas with adhesive caulk. Currently that circle/crescent aren't part of the composition.

It's at this point that I have decided to ditch/omit the circle/crescent and devise some other solution by adding this other shape coming in from the left.

Here's the whole mess with some extra rails/ladders added.

We'll see where things go from here...
