all biro or fineliner with watercolour

new fringe and new drawings.

i cut my hair.
and did some drawings.
0.05 fineliner
from my little brother.
and some dry-point copper etchings. or, rather, i did prints from them. the etchings are from late october. 28th, perhaps.
they were etched directly from life. (lifedrawing)
that is not to say that people actually had hands instead of faces though. that bit isn't accurate.
above: regular print in black
above: print came out not-as-desired. lines were subsequently outlined in black fineliner and then flesh hand-coloured with watercolours.
above: outlines left as printed, flesh hand-coloured with watercolours.
they have pink fingers.

all the etching/drawing things are probably worth clicking on to enlarge.

above:
some new things.
like butterfly hair and an eye nipple.
and some colourings.
; ink colouring and red marker lipstick.

how things might be if they didn't make so much sense.
or didn't try to.
or actively tried not to.
or if eyes could roam free around the hair and body.
also:
new dresses will be uploaded on [place of sewing] shortly.
(which may mean tomorrow morning, but hopefully means now)

train station update. mostly blind contour on found myki receipts.photocopied and inked.
buckled the paper. as it should.finn in the car.
a fence and a fence shadow.
in a tower.
i didn't feel like mentally flipping the image as i etched it, so it is in reverse.
drypoint copper etching of 'in a tower'.
part of daylesford adventures with finn.
perhaps a kitchen etching to follow.
i was trying to get tone in the first one
and not in the second one.
the second one is all about melted cheese arms
and there are also two hidden faces in shadows and knuckles.
trying to draw a building while walking. needed a few pauses.
note perspective change across the page. ha.
uhhhhm. drawing on the train home.
i was thinking about hairlines.
