Constitutions uncaffeinated with feet and hummingbird is my amazingly lame title for this surrealistic charcoal sketch which was conceived in dreamland via lack of caffeine in my system I am guessing. Don’t lie to me and claim you’ve never had dreams centered around hummingbirds and a girl’s feet though… I know you probably have so I think this is some good art for you.
Little prints, stickers, cups, shirts, etc. are available HERE.
Sketch vs drawing…. for me a sketch has usually been something little time is involved in. So in a case like this where it should have been a ten-minute sketch, but turns into a hour-long process it makes me feel like it is a drawing kinda. Only kinda though. It is on random paper rather than quality art paper. It is not cleaned up, and is very much a first draft. It is basically a fancied version of my rough sketches. The charcoal at hand was used, I had a broken Pentalic soft stick and a General’s hard charcoal pencil. Less than fifteen feet away a bag in a drawer contained multiple types of charcoal. I never thought to get it and refine things. It was and is a sketch. Size, materials, substrate, and time make is so. If it were to become a “drawing” in the finished sense it would have required either a bunch of refining at the bare minimum, but in my case it also would have required me getting a sheet of archival paper and setting up with proper charcoals… instead of whatever and a piece of a fast food napkin to blend. Anyways, I like sketches. This one is fun.
