BUROG - A Drawing Execise

Work on Progress

as an artist, i think that the most important part of art making is the process, which in turn i believe determines the outcome of the work. and as an example, my process ussually starts by focusing on one form which i then cut, twist, strectch, add, subtract, obsessively exploring the form's potentials. the form then determines the content or the meaning of the work. here are some body body of work with different degrees of completion. the following are done using acrylic paint, le pen (this pen is the shit), water color, and pigment liner pen!

as a response to the previous post, black ink or paint is
a superb, versatile, and practical tool in mark making.

the more i look at these old drawings and paintings, the
more i get inspired to constantly learn and practice how
to incorporate monochromatic palette and different colors
in order to create a mood or to simply imply the solidity of
an object in space.
below is an example!

Blackawhite!

Black and white. Basic black and white. Out of all colour(s),
plain black paint or ink is probably what i hated the most. I
think that mediating between black and white is so difficult
and meticulous, since you have to consider a factor that is so
basic and at the same time alien. It means that you have to think
about light and dark and how the intensity of light depending on
the setting affects what your trying to do, or the object that is
being drawn and painted.

Despite all the struggle and deliberate understanding of black
and white hues and tone, i manage to pick some pointers and
apply that to a full color work!

Above are some black and white stuff i found from old sketchbook
4-5 years ago! Bottom, one with color!
