This is a fast computer drawing I made using Sketchbook Pro 2011. The inspiration came from listening to Art21, the first episode of the fifth season, Compassion. I had it streaming on my computer but I had the drawing software program running which filled my screen, so I just drew while listening to the descriptions of the creation process without seeing what the artists' artwork looked like.
I drew lots of lines using my scroll pad on my macbook. It is interesting using a scroll pad and not the conventional mouse or the typical drawing tablet with artificial pen. I like it, it is an unusual experience. I am limited by a 3 by 2.5 inch space where my finger can roam. My lines are always squiggly and never straight.
I have really grown to like the filler bucket tool. Filler bucket is a little icon that looks like a bucket of water and you click on an area that you want completely filled with a specific color. It is like painting in a matter of seconds. I like this. It lets me think larger than I normally think. Normally I will overfocus on one section of the painting and try to combine colors. I normally do not like solid colors. This software makes me think of solid color differently. I like it.
I hope you like it! It is not elegant, not pretty like the last image I posted, that pink and white flower. It is ugly, and I like that ugly. I like the man in the bottom right corner. I feel like him sometimes, focusing on something nobody else can see, feeling sensations nobody else can feel. He barely notices the light that lands on his face.
