Where has this week gone? When I was on the bus, the other day, I realised that I have started to look at people and things in general differently. I also used to walk and look at the pavement or something, dreaming . Now I pay attention to people and their shapes, what they wear, colours, the way they walk, the shapes of things and how the light changes them.
I have done some work in my sketchbook: nude poses from a book for artists who cant go to life drawing. In the first one I used charcoal. It was too big for the paper really, and I had to smooth it and use chalks to correct the light areas. The second one was in solid graphite pencil-like stick. I concentrated on the negative shapes. I had to stop before it was finished but I'm pleased with my progress.
I have also worked on more images about global warming. I did not finish also had a go at turning them in a children story. My favourite is the bear and the skinny family of famished penguins. For the one with the scientist, I looked at cartoons of scientists and adapted one so he holds ice-cream and changed his head so he looks a bit like Einstein. I think it needs re-working, that scientist is not mine yet!
