“Tracy”
Sunday I spent most of my time drawing, erasing, redrawing, rubbing, redrawing with charcoal. With about fifteen minutes left with the model I decided to try out a new fude-nibbed ink pen. On smooth marker paper, without really having any experience with the pen or understanding of how to use it, I found I was getting lifeless lines that looked like what you would get with a felt tip marker. (Boring.) So, thinking that a textured surface would help, I grabbed a random sheet of paper from a shelf across the room and, holding the pen like a paint brush, drew rather quickly. The mangled hand is an example of the lack of fine control in the technique and a moment where perhaps I should have slowed down.
