This drawing was directly inspired by a photo by @robertpallesen. It was a black and white image of coiled wires and cables hanging against a wall. When I saw it my fingers itched to draw my interpretation of it and Robert kindly gave me the go-ahead.
I rarely use any real images for my drawings because I find it daunting and inhibiting but when I do, I spend a few minutes looking at the image and absorbing it, as a whole and zoomed in to smaller areas. Then I put the image out of sight and draw the ‘feel’ of the image from memory. Working this way opens a portal to my subconscious and removes the pressure of re-producing a realistic copy.
This was the 2nd or 3rd piece I made to kick-start my new art. It took a while for me to name it because it was one of those pieces that I just went in and created. There wasn't much inspo besides mushrooms and ✨ detail ✨
It's giving ✨ industrial ✨ despite the mostly organic shapes. It's all of those straight lines and triangles!
Again, this is either the 2nd or 3r piece I made to kick-start my new art! I just wanted to make a black and yellow piece, because these colours are glorious together.
I mean, the artwork speaks for itself, am I right?
I named it after the pigment in plants that give them their sunny yellow colours.
