Not much remembered from my dreams last night. Mostly a broken fingernail, which hurt, which is why I remember it so clearly.
Magix movie mixdown = sloooooow = insane boredom + inability to use computer (that would slow it down more) = finding pen + pad = disproportionate, albeit very meticulous, pointillism.
I actually drew the sphere first, then moved on to the face and other stuff. I'm displeased with the proportions of the face and body, but I have to admit that pointillism does have a singular way of making even ugly drawings look filled with light. I mean, look how the hair turned out! Of course, I messed up the eyes, which is why they were handily converted into sunglasses.
Reality check. At any rate, it was a very soothing way to pass the time.

Oh, bravo! I always see B&W pointillism as illustration rather than objective artistic endeavour, but that's probably becouse I mostly view it within the context of a story book - particularly Howard Pyles illustrations for Treasure Island. But for some odd reason when I saw your drawing I emediatly thaught of Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast.
ReplyDeleteGod, now that you've reminded me I have the urge to begin re-reading right away!
