I could never think of what to do when it was my turn to pose, so I'd doodle in my sketchpad, and people had to draw me doing that... <br />And mostly what I'd doodle were those "trademark little squares", and squiggles, and giraffes and things; basically just the first things that came into my head, almost as if I was just letting the pen or pencil draw what it wanted to draw, freed up by all the wine and beer we all used to drink in large amounts on those evenings!<br /><br />So when the time came to do this picture, on a post-work, post-children, teetotal evening, I put some loud meandering guitar music on, instead of drinking booze, to free me up a bit, then wet the pages with water, splotched on some ink, and let gravity and chromatography guide the pen to do its work!<br /><br />st_xStephen Surnamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03902436823022430991noreply@blogger.com
