Something to Pass the Time



Hey folks, r. here. a. was mostly right that we are both in between finished products so there is nothing really to show. However, in the interest of keeping you interested and informed (and to forestall dissertation writing for an additional 5 mins) I thought I'd post a couple pages from my sketch book. I read in one of those learn how to paint books (actually in more than one) that the best way to develop your composition skills was to practice drawing. I have since decided that I prefer stenciling to other kind of painting and my one experiment in abstract was such a disaster that I would prefer not to discuss it (MADE OF FAIL does not quite sum it up), but I still sketch occasionally because it's relaxing which is the reason I do anything that isn't literary criticism. So here you have a few studies of the trees outside my living room window and my foot (on advice from a how to draw book) alongside a page of skulls (with a more hardcore re-working of the FLB image from a.'s bag). Enjoy!
