First in an ongoing series called “I suck at drawing David Bowie.” Black and white with grey marker, drawn in my current moleskine.
I admit it’s been too long since I have posted anything in this dang blog here. Life kind of picked up around me the past few weeks, from my work as an intern on Parkland to my family road trip over spring break. I have prioritized sleeping, goofing off, and playing around in favor of writing for this blog, but I need to remember writing for this blog can be another form of play; a form of practice play, and the same kind of play I am hoping to bring to my drawing practice.
Here is a little Bowie doodle that comes from a recent re-obsession with the living legend after the release of “The Next Day” (remember how one of my first posts was a review of that first single? The weeks flew by!). The album is pretty much absolutely excellent, and I want to write a detailed review of it soon.
As the title of this post and the accompanying art piece reveal, I suck at drawing David Bowie. It’s a painful irony for one who both loves this man and loves to draw, but it’s an irony that I intend to make temporary. Since Bowie is my obsession of the moment, I will be drawing him everyday (or working on a painting that is now months overdue!) and sharing the fruits of my labor here and on my art’s facebook page.
Let’s see how long this lasts. Let’s see if I improve. But above all, Let’s Dance!
