Final Drawing Concepts Project: Week 1






We were asked to pick an idea to work from for the rest of the year.  I am working with the idea of irrational paranoia as well as a general anxiety and/or fear of death.  We had to draw for at least 6 hours last week, whether this time was put into one drawing or multiple drawings.  This upcoming week we will continue working with our chosen theme, and have been asked to bring back 9 hours of drawings.  Ideally each drawing works off of the previous drawing/drawings.
