What was I thinking?

When I’m working on an illustration, I usually do a few simple thumbnail drawings. They’re really nothing more than scribbles, but it’s enough for me to tell if the composition is working, if the idea is worth continuing.  It’s all about getting the idea out of my head and onto paper as quickly as possible.  And this process usually works really well. Until now.

Preliminary Sketch

Here is a sketch I did a few days ago, and then set aside.  And I have no idea what it’s of.  I wish I did– it’s got a lot of movement and some interesting lines.  Is that a person on the left there? Is that a fish in the middle?  Is this even right side up? Who knows?

So if anybody has any idea what I drew, let me know in the comments… it’ll be fun. Thanks.

  1. Surrealism at it’s best. Is that a clock melting from the limb of a tree? Perhaps. This could be a major breakthrough Rob. Sometimes, I think the marks we make on paper as we are daydreaming can be much more significant than those we make deliberately_ a true reflection of our subconscious (if such a thing exists.) You should post more of your rough sketches… show us just how spontaneous you can be. GET FREE!
