Back in the Zenbrush 3 app and just practicing drawing lines, using my finger and the given slider to alter the thickness. Later in the week I found a stylus in the drawer which I’d forgotten I had (!). It gave rise to a very different art style (more in another post) but I still like the directness of digit drawing, almost as though the ink is emerging from my fingertips.
There is a real art in line drawing, something I’ve always known but until practicing never full realized but at least paper after paper is not wasted in all my digital efforts. Too often tremor makes the lines look uncertain and ugly but I was happy enough with this spidery outcome.
Duplicating, rotating, mirroring, shadowing gave me some interesting patterns which I then accidentally deleted before saving. All I had saved was the scroll shadow paper which evidently segments the drawing
The mother of invention came to the rescue before I was too annoyed with myself and with mirroring and placing along the app’s grid lines, a geometric, dimensional figure emerged.
“Mighty is geometry; joined with art, resistless.” ~ Euripides
I was quite frankly rather pleased with the outcome and experimented further with more such split drawings, giving rise to the category of Geometrics, in this blog’s newly developed Digipix Gallery
Lastly, I decided not to title any of the ‘figure drawings’ and only added them to the gallery with a white mount though now I think that this category looks best with just a background matte. opinions welcome.
