Cooler weather
Didn’t do much today. Changed over some books at Halekulani Library. Sat about in front of the bakery on Tenth Avenue with a few guys and chatted over coffee. I will pop over the channel and visit Warren and Rodger on Saturday and grab a coffee over there. I was going tomorrow because I haven’t been over there for a few days but I have a drawing set up on the board and I want to try it.
I need to try and break away from the stippling and the other stark black ink styles I have been settling for lately. There are a bunch of works sitting about this place with all sorts of ways of showing shape and texture using fine pen lines from graphic pens. The drawings keep getting locked into a few very simple and inadequate marks. Memory has been a problem that has been in the way for a long while. When working a drawing that is complex I tire fast and a part of the state of being tired is a loss off intellectual capacity blah blah and etcetera. Anyway this time i have these works and when I get to the point of building the figure there will be images with a choice of marks at hand. Hopefully that will help me to develop the image and overcome the forgetfulness.
Or I might just sleep most of the day.
