I’ve been trying to get my head back in the game after my involuntary hiatus over the past few months and Carla Sonheim’s Art of Silliness workshop popped up just at the right time. The workshop is a series of drawing and other creative exercises. Before beginning the workshop, I hadn’t really picked up a pen on the past six months or so. One of the exercises she had us do is the traditional contour, you know the one, look at the object and draw it without looking at the paper. This exercise is fairly easy to do an normally you draw an actual object that’s laying around the house but in this case, Carla asked us to use a picture of ourselves. All I could find was a picture of my friend Dean. Here’s how it turned out.
I’ve done better in the past and I’m going to blame this on not having picked up a pen in the past several months. That said, everybody in the house knew who this was when they saw it.
