This week see your PopCulteer returning to his trusty Blackwing Palamino pencil for a drawing based on a composite of five or six (I forget how many) photos taken while driving on Interstate roadways between Columbus and Atlanta over the years. I wanted to use reference for the different elements, but mix up the features so that it doesn’t look like any place specific.
It took about three weeks to complete this, working in spurts while my fingers were functional, and alternating with a painting you’ll see here next week.
This was another instance of me basically just trying to perfect some technique instead of expressing any grand ideas.
