These drawings were made with Indian ink & a twig!

  1. We had a life drawing teacher back in college that had us do the same thing; not an easy task. I think I recall using mustard? I didn't really have too much success with it.

    It looks like you did though! I really like the heads! Nice and graphic. Great!

  2. Mustard hah! Man, that must've stank? Art school was great for eccentric teachers getting us to draw with mud, coffee, nails, bodily fluids etc. We had one life drawing tutor turn out all the lights & have us draw in the dark! Fun time -

  3. I hope you were kidding about the 'bodily fluids'. Please TELL ME YOU WERE KIDDING MAN!!

    Drawing in the dark? Drawing under the table? Don't you ever draw in more, conventional ways?

  16. Even for a twig I find these images very precise, it shows great control and discipline.

    How big is your twiglet?

  17. Crookie, I used a medium sized twig, 2B. Twiglets smudge too much. Sticky fingers.

    Joe, CHEWBLOG rules!

  19. It's nice stuff but it's not experimental, I think you knew exactly what would come out of the tip of your little twig.

    If you want experimental look at Gerby's Blog.........
