This is a submission for my digital art group…completed in procreate. The challenge this week is “linear and outline art”
My understanding is that outline art/contour line drawing uses only lines to define outer edges of shapes/objects. The process of outlining provides the structure for the composition.
I will print this outline drawing and then use my graphite and/or charcoal pencils (TBD) to complete the drawing...once I finish the project I'll post again.
You’ll see a “hint” of a person on the path…that’s me.
Color Pencil over Gesture. It was a contemplative day in the art classroom. Students were drawing self portraits and I had time to join them. Our discussion was on 'Reflection'. The image we see of ourselves in the mirror is not what people see when they look at us. They see the reverse. The mole on my cheek is on the other side of my face, if you were to look at me in person. This leads to discussions of perception and reality. It can be fun and humbling. We cannot live only by sight. We must have a faith of some sort. This reminds me of the Michael Feldman Public Radio Program called: "Whad'Ya Know?" It opens with the audience shouting: "Whad'd Ya Know?" and Michael replying: "Not Much! You?". We do not know much, I think, as much as we like to pretend that we think we do.
