| You'd think that to the extent that
I love control over my medium, and that I do love color, that
I would use colored pencil more. The truth is that it has never
really appealed to me. But for some as-of-yet unexplainable reason,
I randomly sat down one day, pulled out a sheet of my colored
paper that I generally use for Conte Crayon drawings, pull out
some colored pencils and went to town, drawing something cartoony
- which is yet another removal from my standards. And Voila! One
of my most favorite pieces of art ever. I don't even really know
what to say. It is done in a Japanese Anime-style in colored pencil
and then outlined using a Sharpie afterward. Then I cut out the
whole thing, intentionally inexactly, and mounted it on solid
black matte board. So many people have commented on it, and have
told me they love it... and I have to agree. Me too. |
