Now you can just stay with the photo collage and you now can even, now it's real easy to
take some of these photos off to your local drug store and enlarge them so that you can
play with different sizes of these, but, you know, you can also draw from them and, you
know, now you have, again, a sort of an abstract and, you know, maybe you'll be able to generate
a drawing based on the abstract and what I, what my eye goes to right away is, because
this is a big solid shape, my eye goes right there. So that's probably what I'm going to
start with with my drawing, but then, you know, it's repeated over here smaller and
that's not such a bad thing. So I would start my drawing with, you know, that big rock and
it's kind of like this and then there's this other rock that's sort of leaning against
it. So I'm going to simplify the shapes right now, but I know that I've got a side of a
rock, a front of a rock, and then I've got this other rock up here that sort of has a
side and a front so that just keeps me oriented. So I've got those two, but then I've got this
happening here and I'm thinking well where does that go and does that make a picture?
And this actually gets repeated, but that's going to be too repetitive for me so I'm going
to maybe work on this over here and add that in and that kind of lines up with that little
line there. So I'm going to work on that, but, you know, this is a way, again, if you
can't get outside or, you know, you don't like the particular collection. You like that
part of the rock, but you don't like it with this, then you take, you know, you can take
a photo, let's see this one might work, and put this over here to cover that problem and
see if that makes a better drawing. So, you know, this is a way, again, to visually think
it out. Partly through drawing and partly responding by moving around your, you know,
the sources of your image.
