Lines on Paper, Fallen Leaf


The most interesting ideas come when one has no intention of doing anything serious or "postable." I like the left side of the lettering, and with work, may be able to get the slant of the letters consistent. The graphite drawing was starting to smudge all over, so I laid a bunch of prismacolor on top in a warm cream shade, and then re-drew into that. Liked the texture of drawing back into the waxy pencil and it seemed be creating interesting effects. The leaf and its shadow was the first thing, lettering was an afterthought. I'm using that technique whereby you tie two pencils together and use that for calligraphy effects. My calligraphy skills, obviously, are rusty.
