The joys of graphite
So, lately I've been feeling unsatisfied with making computer illustrations. That's part of what prompted me to start a daily sketch journal. Yesterday I make a quick and dirty little pencil sketch from a Googled photo, and it gave me so much more happiness than any of the computer illustrations which I've lovingly spent so much more time and energy on. There is something so immediate, so personal, about drawing something with your own hand, applying pressure for a darker stroke, using a light touch to shade, feeling the tooth of the paper under the pencil tip. I just love this simple, unfinished little drawing!
