Antipost | Doodle
Greetings, dear Steemians
This is my entry for @sndbox’s contest: Antipost (Details here: https://steemit.com/antipost/@sndbox/what-is-a-post-antipost-contest-6)
My image. Modified at https://fotoram.io/artstyle/
These videos cover from start to finish the only thing I have been able to draw: doodles.
I start without any particular image in mind, total improvisation. I let my hand just go and then depending on the preliminary strokes my pen will stop at some points, highlight some things, elaborate on others and basically the doodle gives form or formlessness to itself.
I used to draw pretty well, but for many years now I have been unable to work on any art project. Except for some collaboration with my daughter, whom I help give her super hero characters final touches, I have not drawn any concrete thing in a long time.
The thing about my doodles is that they become abstract/concrete forms. They may look one thing one moment and another one the next. Some people see buildings, others see human figures, and others see animal forms.
What do you see? What do you think?
Thanks for your visit
Hola, @hlezama. Recuperando un poco mi capacidad de comentarios. No sé por qué no pude abrir tus videos (quizás fueron hechos en un programa o aplicación que no tiene mi computadora). En verdad, me hubiera gustado ver el proceso de tu trabajo gráfico. De modo que no puedo darte una apreciación. Sí me gustaría decirte que eso que llamas "garabatos" han sido y son obras artísticas de valor. Sin remontarse a los "garabatos" famosos hechos por un Picasso, un Tàpies o un Torres-García, el grafismo, como suelen denominarlo, ocupa un lugar reconocido. En Venezuela, alguien que los ha trabajado ha sido Juan Calzadilla. Espero ver tus trabajos luego. Saludos.
Saludos, @josemalavem.
Gracias por comentar. No conocia la obra de Calzadilla. Bastante compleja, poeta, además. Gracias por la referencia.
La verdad es que nunca le di mayor importancia a mis garabatos, pero voy a tener que abordarlos con un poco más de disciplina.
Pronto espero poder publicar más cosas en el plano de arte/dibujo.
I love doodling too and took pleasure drawing in a Landrover on a rough track which helped my pencil to express itself in a wild way! So I get what you are trying to do. Letting the abstract become concrete...........that appeals to me.
Well done.
Thank you. What you did sound fun. I used to doodle on the bus, in the days you could afford distractions in public places. Now we don't even have buses (no many left, anyway).
There is a certain self-arrangement force in the randomness of doodling that i find very attractive.
Thanks for stopping by
I like that word 'random'..............hint of free thought, expression. It's the escape hatch from a predictable (most enjoyable) life.
