Seventy























Study (after Tully Filmus). I really like this one. It was fun to do because I could draw quickly and be heavy handed, which is my natural tendency. It looks like a bridge between describing form with line vs. light and dark.

"Steal Like an Artist" is a brilliant and generous book and I'm really enjoying it. In the back, there's a section where the author shows how he began his book on index cards. I was thinking about how much that page reminded me of how Lynda Barry works. On the very next page Austin Kleon says thank you to all the artists he's stolen from and first on that list is Lynda Barry. Her book is also at the top of his recommended reading list.
