Spring is coming—I hope!

Now that I have a brand new studio with lots of places to store things I'm discovering all the old stuff. It's like another life, a whole different mindset. I'm digging out all the drawings I did before I thought I could do them better on the computer. I miss my colored pencils and wonderful handmade papers and the feel of the surface. One thing I don't miss is the Rapidiograph pen and the french curves I used to outline things. Also, the concept of doing the drawing was so different. It was a complete thought that had a beginning and an end with no endless edits and revisions until you drained all the sap out of it. My drawings were never freehand. But all the designing went on way before the finish and when that came it was the grand finale—over, done, with no second guessing. If it wasn't right you had to do it over. You were committed.
