Gesture Rocks Shaded

In the next sketch I thought I should add shapes that people would more easily recognize. So I went for oval ones. On previous occasions I’ve made them into rocks. On time, someone did ask me if they were potatoes. Whatever they really are, I liked what happened in this sketch. I also had fun playing a cubist visual game of overlapping planes in the same piece.

Gestural Lines

When I was younger, I used to love drawing random gestural lines and then going back to find shapes created by them. I also used to color inside the shapes I created. In college, an art professor told me that my gestural lines were stronger than the lines I normally drew. One recent evening, while passing time at an art gallery reception, I started a doodle that went back to that way of working. My recent images have been so tight that I thought I should now try to loosen up again.

Maze

Here's a drawing I made using a new set of pencils I picked up at the recent national art educators convention. My drawing turned a bit messy as I worked on it.

Corners

This piece was created for a show that hung June 1st - 13 th at the Louisiana State Archives in Baton Rouge. It's been a while since I've made a formal finished graphite artwork.
