New Subconscious Drawing! (WIP)
I've been workin on this one whenever I go to bed and can't sleep -either too wired from a busy day at the drawing boar--er tablet... or having that one extra cup o' joe or whatever reason.
I started drawing on the back of a failed Darkstalkers page with a ballpoint pen. I kind of stared at the blank page until I saw something-an eye or a tooth or a spikey whatever- and traced it-as soon as I finished with that part I would stop until the next vision came and so on. I call this type of drawing subconscious drawing because I put pen to paper only when I successfully blank my mind for a few seconds and trace.
Needless to say these completed drawings take time. There is a certain mindset needed to make them and I'm not always able to get there. So far this one has existed for a month or so and considering its at the bottom of a comic board(11x17) standing vertically-It'll be awhile before it's all done.
I love these drawings because they tend to entertain me-as I have no (conscious) idea of what's coming. It's as if I'm watching someone else draw. Weird? maybe...or maybe I'm delusion from lack of sleep and too much coffee...but whatever the reason these are wicked fun!
I hope to finish a bunch of these up and include them in a 2o10 sketchbook for the con season. Either a standalone subconscious drawing book or if I don't get enough done, just part of another book. I guess time will tell huh?
ok back to crunch time

Joe, I like these ones as well... man as long as you can physically produce more kickass art, keep doing this exercise, cause the drawing is really wierd in terms of "subject?" but it's really cool. I really dig the piece! :)
ReplyDeleteHopefully more to come. Keep rockin!
I think this gonna be massive! Keep the ink rollin' joe!
ReplyDeleteLuca: thanks again man-ya I def. like how weird an nonsensical they are-no limitations...just let the mind wander and entertain as it shows up haha
ReplyDeletesammy!: wow thanks maybe so and will do!
Man that's wild looking. I love compilation pictures though. So much to look at and every time you do, you can find a new detail that you may have over looked before. Keep at this one dude because I'd love to see it when done.
ReplyDeleteJoe I got the Streetfighter book you posted last time, and that's AWESOME! it has really badass work man, especially those of Akiman. Thanks for recommending it, well done! :)
ReplyDeleteRed White: haha ya I'm obviously a fan also-I remember staring at the old ghost n goblins covers filled with characters-awesome--and thnx!
