| Final image. |
I finally finished some pieces I'd been working on this week, had a tidy and decided to have a day drawing whatever I wanted. And I had no idea what to do. What do you draw when you can draw absolutely anything? I usually revert to animals I like the look of, or things I've sketched before but never explored properly. I find I think best when I start drawing. I remembered a badger I'd drawn a long time ago so I drew badgers until I had an idea to make an image using only black and white animals.
I liked that it looked like a Rorschach test. I've been playing with Procreate lately and there's a symmetry function I hadn't used before and it's a lot of fun. It's also so much faster to only draw half of an image. I usually draw my outlines onto paper. This is the first time I've really drawn everything onscreen.
Procreate has a time lapse function so you can watch all the decisions being made in real time. I finished the image in Photoshop so you only see up to a certain point here.
What do you draw when you can choose whatever you want? Do you have too many ideas or have to work them out on paper like I do?
