Fall 2022
Materials: Ballpoint pen. sharpie, pencil
About this project: Everyone has an aversion to things they know they aren’t good at, in life and in art. Here are some of the things I struggle with “failing” at drawing much of the time: faces, profiles, and hands. This project was about confronting the things you aren’t good with and doing them anyway, even if they are terrible, which is better than avoiding them because avoiding things doesn’t make you any better.
I just pulled up a stock image website (pexels.com in this case) and scrolled down the new images to find images to practice. I did some warm ups in pencil, as well as just for variation, and some in ballpoint pen.
