Precious
pencil on paper

This is very experimental for me in a number of ways. For years I have worked with Photoshop at my job and used it for my drawings to see into shadows by the use of the curve tool. With this drawing I took an owl skull and tried to mimic the look of what it would like using this tool. I did use other images of old photos using the curve tool but not the owl, I wanted to have free reign to create and not be forced to just copy a Photoshoped image. This is a combination of positive and negative tones along with distortions of the hand and a blurry background with I normally don’t do. Not only was this drawing a completely different process it’s also very small of me (9" x 12")but its only small part of the presentation. I have built a “surround” out of wood that’s painted to resemble rust it’s all about nature taking back. When I have it all put together ill post it, but here is the drawing first. When done the whole presentation will be 32” x 36”.

Thanks for looking
