EAST WING

This! This was the first drawing that I really felt.

It may not have any content beyond what it appears to be. But I am always grateful that I finally "felt" something I

drew.

The hairs on this guy took a while. When I started to shade it in was when my whole world

changed about what it must feel like to really get "into" the artwork as it is being created.

The eyes ... when I started to shade the eye sockets, my pencil started to dance. I could feel the bone structure in my hands.

Flip me out! If you look closely into the eyes, you can see that the eye sockets appear to have depth. I can still to this day say that each time I look at it, I feel my pencil (what I used originally) dig into the hole. I just can't explain in words what I experienced.

​

Can you see the depth and eyes? Take another look…
