Sketch Page of Much Foolishness

Another page of creatures and nonsense. It is clear that my mind was wandering all over the place while drawing on this page. And in so wandering there is a bit of nonsense in this page. Excellent, I say let the foolishness show.

These pages are just for the exploration of shapes, ideas, concepts, freeform drawing etc. They are never meant to produce a useful subject. It is a chance to let the form, character or creature fall from the pencil lead by chance and deep hidden inner thoughts. It is meant to keep my subconscious mind involved to get new ideas, and new creatures out onto a page without preconceived ideas that would distort this raw creative dump.

I have written at length about the process in another post  “Samurai Sketch Sessions”. Basically I feel that i am very weak in drawing without reference, as a way to get better I force myself to practice every night for several hours, just before heading to bed. It has the added benefit of clearing my mind and helps me fall asleep faster. I highly recommend it.
