3505/A.
So, yesterday, I drew comics scholar Scott McCloud at the Multnomah County Library.
Yeah! Totally! He totally came by and sat for me, and this is totally what he looks like in real life:
I mean, it would be cool to be able to say that, but obviously not. But I was able to take my ballpoint out and dash this down (using is visage on the cover of Understanding Comics as a model, naturlich), and that was a satisfying thing.
Also satisfying: this picture on the right here. Working from a cue in a book titled The Confident Creative, I wanted to make some marks and fill a sketchbook page, I didn't have a subject, didn't have an idea, just started drawing lines. It became an exercise in trying to use those lines to create a suggestion of volume and space, and it succeeded somewhat. I had two arms snaking off and merging into the background, a ceiling up top, and, on the bottom, kind of a shelf going into something resembling a waterfall.
All drawings are ballpoint or liquid ball ink on crushed and deferred dreams.
