This is another 2-for-one day, riffing on the same basic composition, exploring how to simplify my subject matter.
I was doing life drawing on Sunday, January 10, 2016 at the Tom of Finland headquarters in Echo Park, Los Angeles, California, USA. These were the drawings I drew that fit the theme of this blog, so I’m posting them in the blank spot caused by yesterday’s posting of the 01_11_13 and 01_12_13 entries of the Daily Derriere sketchbook (the source material for this blog) as a double page spread.
It was around this time that I realized that my self-assignment of drawing a derriere every day didn’t necessarily restrict me to male butts.
One of the realities in working on such crappy paper is that paint bleeds through to the other sides as it wrinkles the page. It would be counter-productive not to use this in the creative process. In a way it’s sort of liberating; I don’t have to worry about whether or not the drawing is good because the crappy paper makes that impossible anyway.
