Have you ever let fate decide your creative direction? This week I use a wheel of fortune (www.wheeldecide.com) to select 3 colours from a range of Sharpie marker pens. Then I use this colour combination to create a drawing of a pair of ballroom dancers. I start out putting down some loose gestural lines to depict the energy and flow of the dance, next I refine lines with the second colour. Finally, I block in different sections of both male and female dancers using the third and second colours.
Here are the materials I used:
Daler-Rowney Mixed media paper
Sharpie pens
reference photo (royalty free) can be found here.
see the high resolution version of my drawing here you can click on different sections of the image to see a magnified version of the art work.
This is a fun little experiment that can lead to new creative avenues to explore!
