FF Mirado 2
Was in the car with my book but forgot my regular drawing pencil--a Twist Erase mechanical pencil with .09 2B lead. All I found in the car was an old Black Mirado 2. I rejected it, but since it was all I had--
Drew two pix with it. The one in the rear-view mirror attracted me because of that wonderful lop-sided house with the door askew to the gable.
The top picture was an interruption, but done with the Twist Erase. It is becoming apparent that the tools mean much. And become the determiner of a "voice."

definitely agree. i love all the hollow tree shapes here - it works especially well in the last one - it just wouldn't look good with pencil strokes inside the trees. i can learn from this.
ReplyDeleteI'm not quite sure what to think of these "ghost trees." They came at first by accident--interuptions and stuff. Now they pop up unexpectedly. The pines on top were interrupted by a cell phone call. But afterwards I could have finished them but rather liked the "implication of more," with its near abstractness. So I left it.
