Piddling about with drawing (2)

Other bits of "drawing homework" over the xmas break ...

Revisiting the first project, scaling up Playmo folk (in charcoal) and positioning them in a setting -

 For the setting, I digitally transformed a photo taken in Annecy, just to get a sense of what's happening in it -

For the large (A2) version, I was glad to be able to draw on a vertical surface, a nice big sheet of board that's been left leaning against my fabric cupboard -

The outcome is a bit blah and I didn't really find anything in the project that grabbed me, nor do the figures really fit into their landscape. But it was fun in a surrealistic way, and I did get involved in the drawing and do a lot of thinking and erasing along the way. It probably needs a darker area somewhere.

Just for fun, an aimless bit of dabbling with ink -

and sewing on some scraps of fabric. This felt within my comfort zone... just trying things out for half an hour - using the materials at hand, literally within arm's reach.

I've also been stitching into paper, with the aim of drawing the results ... that's ongoing, more later.
