I have found out that a line drawn to show the shape is not really there on the object in reality. I actually knew this but hadn't seen it put into words really until I saw a blog post on Drawn2Life where Jennifer talks about why she draws as she does. Very interesting and I suggest you go take a look at the post if you haven't already. So anyhow, it led me to my current take on "fake".
I drew a continuous line drawing of my lamp I painted several years ago (it was a $5 lamp from a dollar store and I hated it till I painted it to match the furniture I'd painted). It was harder than I thought as I find I have to hold the Pitt pens so vertical to get them to draw that my hand started to hurt. I need to find a pen that will write at a slant which may better suit my left-handed curled grip. I colored it in this time with markers. Hope you enjoy it.
Oh my! I'm gobsmacked to see something I've written placed in someone's art journal...very humbling and thrilling all at once! Thank you Timaree! And, may I say, it is a beautiful page! The lamp, the colors, everything is delightful.
ReplyDeleteTimaree your fake journal is turning out so wonderful! I love all your drawings.

ReplyDeleteI'm also enjoying your fake journal, and this post is no exception. I like the colors and the line drawing is charming! nancy
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment on my bad wrist. And yes, I am getting better ^^ A lot of get-well wishes from EDM makes it impossible for me not to get better =)
ReplyDeleteWonderful page! (I thought I had already commented here...hmmm. Maybe I forgot to put in the word verification? Oh well...still love it. Continuous line is difficult for me...I always trap myself in a corner!
ReplyDeleteThis drawing, and the whole page, are awesome! Nice lamp, too : ).
ReplyDeleteI love your fake journal pages, their background and composition are very cool. Loved the tomato plant and watering can (great texture on this one!)
And your take on the fake journal is original and fun!
Great page... cool lamp as well. Thanks for sharing.
