Another digital sketch by me. No reference, just intuition/construction. Hunt 102 nib, without stabilization/smoothing — as always — for that wobbly, handmade look. Got a theme going now, maybe.

Another unreferenced figure drawing by me — well, at one point I did hold up my hand and stare at it for a bit — delineated in Procreate with a free “Hunt 102” nib. I don’t pre-visualize anything because I can’t. Rather, I sort of scribble a form and then slowly push and pull it into shape.

Another made-up — no reference — figure drawing by me, this one with a bit of an implied narrative, I suppose. Was vaguely thinking about Judith and Holofernes, and the various “Decapita” drawings by Barry Windsor-Smith. And Salome, of course, although she did not herself slice off the head of John the Baptist.
