Time Drawn: 2006
Door?
Door.
This was one of my earliest experiments with something I do regularly now: drawing directly in pen with no pencil guidelines.
That’s why the door isn’t exactly square (or rectangular, I guess). No guidelines equals wobbly lines.
It was a door in the art building, if you’re wondering. I think it was a teacher’s door, with a textured glass top window.
I also had fun leaving a lot up to the viewer to fill in. That’s why only the areas of the door that were noticeably darker and drawn it, why half the window is white, stuff like that. It’s a useful technique that lets you capture areas of similar color in a way that actually drawing it won’t manage. Even the faintest line is too dark.
Door?
Door!
