Bil Donovan introduced the novel concept of drawing a series of boxes on our sketch paper for class in order to strengthen our compositional skills. At first it felt so constricting. He was making us think, really think, hard about where the figures were best suited in the frame. On top of that he wanted us working in brush and ink only!! But by golly, did his little frames work.
So much so that by the end of the semester, I was still drawing them on the paper. When he told me I no longer had to, I insisted that my results were better with them. So here are a few brush and ink's in the frame. Just goes to show you that sometimes being pushed out of your comfort zone forces you to grow even greater within yourself. Happy Sunday everyone and enjoy!!
Hi
ReplyDeleteWow...gorgeous drawings girl..
I like your style...
Have a great day!
The smallest size of paper I've tried is A5 and I was really struggling with that, so I can't imagine working within the confines of small boxes, eeeeek! I know I just need to push myself, so I will try again.
