Digging Up Roots
| October 24th, 2008
I’ve been messing around with some old and familiar mediums lately. It’s easy to become redundant when working with characters, so on top of creating new characters, I’m experimenting with fleshing out the characters themselves by looking at them through different mediums. (Run-on!) I did more than my fair share of graphite on bristol paper portraits when I was in high school; many of them self portraits. I think most of these guys are going to inadvertently look like me as a result. When I draw objects, I like to work from my memory rather than using photographs. Some things will be slightly incorrect or awkward, but I think there’s beauty in imperfection. Needless to say, I’ve felt quite refreshed getting back to the basics.
