I decided to quickly sketch and paint of the same picture, to try and get an effect by creating quick lines and brush strokes to emphasize the shapes that build up the arm and body. It is far from being an accurate or to scale but that’s OK. I do not want my images to be an exact replica of the image i am drawing or painting. I want my emotion and my perspective to change the image through the process. Making the image my own. Making it unique to me. John Currin once said that its OK to draw badly. ” it’s just as easy to draw something good as you would badly, but the reason why i choose to draw things badly (not realistic) is because people aren’t convinced anymore by realistic impressions.” ( Cook, A. 2011, P.14)
