The last 25 drawings for the assignment are here! This time, raccoon is the star. The drawings were timed for two minutes a piece. The first ones look more "realistic" as I used photos to figure out how to draw a raccoon. Since these were coming out fast, the later drawings start to show a short-hand for certain features, and the 'coons develop more character. The candle was carved again to make an eye-patch stamp because it sure saved on inking time.
The last drawing features the dragon that was created in drawings 4 and 5 as she is imagined by a girl.
Thank you for this exercise, Lisa. It was a brutal amount of drawings to pull off. However, I found a new and versatile tool to add to my kit - a candle! More importantly, I kind of get why we have to do a lot of drawings. I will end this post with a link to one of my favourite videos by D.S. Liu based on an interview with Ira Glass. See you soon, raccoon (that's for you, A.H.)

I really like 91 :) But I guess it's good to see the others too or that one wouldn't be so funny. Congrats on this project!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda. I like 91 too. We should all be allowed to have a 91 moment from time to time and then return to our usual number ;)
