Original Drawing Thread

Recommended Posts

So i'm starting a thread about DRAWING :)

any artists out there? post your drawings, talk about them if you feel inclined. whatever just show us your stuff!

whats peoples opinions about the art form of DRAWING, in any of it's many different forms from stick figure animation to street art & everything in between?

do people think drawing is a legitimate artform in & of itself?

go :)

paradox are ur pics like freehand doodles?? or have u sat down with an idea on what you want to achieve? i like the idea of just letting ur creativity take over with a pencil and see where it goes.

ive always liked looking at peoples doodles(in all seriousness :P )

it always spins me out what i can and will draw when im nattering away on the phone,and u see some really cool stuff on public telephone books, message pads and the like in peoples places, offices etc.its a fascinating phenomena. ive never really sat down and doodled, but for some reason im gonna give it ago, thanks for the inspiration!!

ill put a pic up if i can manage anything decent!!

sweet, glad to know i've inspired you man. thats what i was hoping from this thread :)

yeah it's all freehand 'doodling' basically. i never know whats gonna happen, i just start with one dot or one shape & let it grow & evolve. i love that process because you never know whats gonna happen. you just let the picture dictate where it should go next & what feels right & it's always a surprise how it ends up.

that way you can never make a mistake either, because if you fuck a bit up, all that happens is, it changes the direction of the drawing. the mistakes are often the most interesting parts because they make you take the drawing in a totally different & unexpected direction. an e.g is the bottom drawing that PD commented on. i started that trying to make it symetrical like the other ones but i fucked it up so it ended up how it is now.

yeah i love the process, it's kinda like watching a plant grow if you know what i mean :)

& yeah it's cool what you see when people just doodle absent mindedly. sometimes i like to just have some paper & just draw while i'm watching a film or something. it seems to just flow that way & you don't end up being too self conscious about it etc

i look forward to seeing some stuff incog :) in fact i look forward to seeing everyones doodles, c'mon folks doesn't matter if they're big or small, feel free to bare all pfft
