This was limned quickly,
with no preparatory under-drawing, using ballpoint pen. No corrections were
made; I left the “mistakes” as a signifier of spontaneity.
Unlike Tuesday’s posting of
a sketch made on September 29, 2012, I like this drawing’s crudity. It sort of
reminds me of Picasso’s post-cubist etchings, or of Matisse at his more
realistic.
I
speak of the artist who drew this almost as he were a person other than myself;
I didn’t really control what came out onto paper from the pen. My choice was in
accepting it as “good”.
