When people are conversing in my forthcoming graphic nonfiction, the dialogue is authentic and taken directly from primary source materials such as letters, manuscripts, diaries, journals, newspapers, or interviews.
ANOTHER SKETCHBOOK DRAWING
This is a drawing (conte/watercolor) I did with my drawing 2 students. We start with an automatic drawing technique similar to those done by the early 20th-century Surrealists and Dadaists. We then use that drawing as a basis for an ancient Mayan sculpture rendering using both reductive and additive drawing techniques. This is a bat god sculpture of the Zapotec period.
SKETCHBOOK DRAWING
This was a sketch I did in Florence Italy. It’s a composite drawing. I rendered the architecture in pen and ink then drew the angel sculpture over it using colored pencil. I also collaged into the sketch and used solvent transfer as well.
