So far my favorite drawing from the work I’m doing with Lynda Barry’s book is one I did with my eyes closed.
The prompt was to draw 3 skeletons with eyes closed in blue, yellow, and red. I used colored pencils.
Davy was immediately drawn in by this, but insisted I draw them again “happy.”
The big smiles and heads threw off the proportions, but there’s no doubt these drawings have more “life” than any I’ve done eyes open.
I’m also loving rediscovering composition notebooks. I used to love writing and drawing in these as a kid.
