Drawings

While I was preparing this page I discovered a rude fact. Pencil drawings do not scan well at all. All the feint grey tones disappear. I therefore restricted myself mostly to pen & ink stuff that amused me. The bulk of what is shown here are things I did for advertisements. People look bemused when I say that I don't own any of my own paintings and other "serious" goodies. But that's what happens when other people pay you to do stuff for them.

I go a little nuts when people say they "can't draw". Everyone can draw. It's merely a matter of faith. Once you accept that your fingers are connected to your eyes by a continuous nervous-system you really don't have any excuse. If you can see it then you can draw it. It's simple. Just work slowly. Start a line and when you feel like that line isn't the correct one then stop. Don't go a millimeter further. Then continue drawing the line at the correct tangent. And if you feel that the line is wrong then rub it out and start again. Do that until you feel like screaming. It'll start happening ...eventually. You've got a lifetime to master it.

So take your time.
