Filling the Void

Filling the Void

Start at any point on the page, and draw. Draw anything, but try to make it interesting. Now look at the negative space, and fill that space with another drawing. Keep doing this until you have a full page of sketches.

I always seem to draw head sketches when filling the void. Probably because the shapes are fairly simple. I am going to try and push beyond the heads and draw full creatures.


Regarding this page I am happy with the spaceman helmet and the dinosaur in the upper left. Alias sketchbook is a fabulous tool and I couldn’t be happier using it. I am thinking that I should start with a texture image or something to help get past the blank page staring at me. The blank page is VERY daunting and sometimes I cannot get a decent page of anything. Other days several pages, albeit mostly crap, end up getting spewed forth. I miss the texture, and mixed tonality of the recycled paper sketchbook.

These are STUNNING!

This caught my eye, because I like to do this thing I call 'visual verbals' from high school art class. I draw, and keep filling the negative space, and then, when I cant fit in another drawing, I write quotes or poetry around everything. You are way ahead of me! No matter how small mine are I never seem to get that detail, but I enjoy the head trip of pictures within pictures within pictures.

I always draw faces. I reckon they always tell me exactly how I'm feeling. If it's all furrowed brows and wrinkles that's one thing. If it's all wrinkled brows and furrows that's another.

Actually it's all the same, but anyway...

Funny you should mention dinosaurs. When I was a little kid I used to love to trace their skeletons. And draw my dad.
The spaceman's kinda funny. Haha. I wonder if they have wheelchairs in space. What kind of gadgets would an alien attach to the chair? Do they have capital punishment? Equal opportunity? Space racism?
I want you to see some drawings by a friend of mine...HERE

Norm, love Ray Hughes's stuff. Detail, inside of detail. And now you've got me started on a tangent. Aliens and accesories.

Kleonaptra - thanks for coming in, I love the idea of adding quotes.
