autodeconstruction

This was drawn on 17x14 paper. I would have liked to have a smaller image, but the wispy lines and little details would've vanished at smaller sizes.

Also, my hair is currently purple, not red, but you have to do these sorts of things for the image sometimes.

As I said on dA: I love the self-referential writing. Also, I envy your lines so much. I can't do that.

I'd say that AI makes the lines easy (which it does) but most of my pencils were just as bold and confident - just not so much with the thick-and-thin. It comes from a lot of time drawing fast. And large, with the whole arm, rather than resting the heel of the hand on the paper and just moving the fingers.

I've actually never thought about putting the whole arm into it. I always seem to neglect anything but the muscles in my hand when I'm drawing. Maybe I should try it sometime, though. My AP art teacher probably told me to do it at some point, but I was too busy splashing and blowing ink on paper and making pretty designs. ;)

Give me a bottle of ink and my whole body is going to get into it, but that's another story…
