A Brief Note About My Piece in the 36th Annual Spring Art Show

"Evolutionary Stroll"

I originally did this drawing as a small sketch some time ago.

Drawn with marking pens

Most of my drawings and prints that are exhibited are small or moderately sized.

I chose to make this drawing larger for whatever reason ….just to see.

I had been talking to a comic book artist friend about enlarging thumbnails with a projector

And I thought I’d give it a go (What the heck, if it was good enough for the great Wallace Wood…)



Re-sketching it in the dark is tricky and of course requires a lot of refining and redrawing

I’m not sure it’s any kind of time saver over other means of upscaling a drawing (e.g. a grid)


I re-inked the sketch, this time with a crowquill pen, India ink, and litho crayon.
