Description
workup of an idea from a while back. I flubbed a bit and decided, what the hell, lets do it old style. For me, that's a bit more old school that it might seem - as I have HD and my physicality fails, its harder to do traditional methods, and this was an exercise to just tough it out and see if I still could. Took almost two days to execute but I'm generally happy with the results.On a side note, as Arcas Arts can attest, my idea of old school also shows in the style and execution, as I wanted to recapture my old style of work - back then my only concession o tools was a choice on my part, to use only found objects - a straightedge was usually a cheap school ruler, a curve might be a piece of packaging. circle gauges were more likely to be various can lids.
However, more often, I simply did the whole thing freehand. In this case, its all freehand, barring the use of a old credit card for the straighter lines.

I would write a critique, Bryan, but normally a critique involves positive points vs. negative points. Simply put...I can't find anything in the negative column. So, if I'm going to gush positivity...it might as well be in the standard comments! Composition, orientation of the figure, variety of line weight, cool angles, lots of detail...and it's HAND DRAWN. *shaking head* Glad you're "generally happy with the results"...cuz I'm delighted!

HA! Credit card straight edge... love it! You put a lot of time into this and it really shows. Ain't nothing wrong with "old school" - at all! There's a freedom of expression and a spontaneity that it allows which most digital methods can't match. You always could draw circles around me

Sometimes classic art can be a blessing in disguise. I doubt anyone would think twice about this, outside of it's theme. But because you hand drew it, it has much more meaning than just a simple space image. Well done!!!
