Emma and Julian. Extended drawing.

Sub title; Attack of the 10ft pregnant woman, because she would probably be 10ft if she stood up. Blown the size restriction for just about every drawing competition going again, shame! It looks much lovelier in real life, the scale of it doesn’t translate onto a computer screen. Detail below.

This was my second attempt at silverpoint. I hated it the first time, but working directly with Ben allowed my focus to shift from the media onto my subject matter and his representation. Will use it again love the historical baggage attatched to this media.

All very new and although the drawing is overworked in areas, this was an exercise in treating the tattoo machine (and practice skin) as traditional drawing media….. and it was fun!
