Why Draw? 5

The objects we bought from home were used today, for the firstest ever time!  My objects were an old Samsung smartphone, and old Rock Lord toy and a Generation 1 Crosshairs from 1988.  Of course I'm gonna draw the Transformer...

So now Crosshairs is a social media star, appearing on the Derby Uni Fine Art Instagram, in both plastic and art interpreted form.  Crazy.

Spent a lot of time working up a lot of large images on the keyword 'expressive' some more successful than others.  The general feeling was that my more pictoral images were less expressive, but I would argue that.  You can be pictoral and expressive both, and my observational drawings are a lot tighter than the first image above, but it seems that to a general audience expressive means almost abstract, so I pushed in that direction.  My expression veered towards an expression of frustration at times, and things started to head towards a minimalist approach for a time.   I found some images that I liked and worked well together, although still more minimalist than expressive to my mind.  Ah well, onwards and upwards!
