Day 79

Part of this project was to analyze the differences and similarities between Kelton's artistic style and my own. I've observed two main differences: Kelt's perspective and lack of inhibition. Kelt and I have a different drawing process. I start from the bottom and move my way up in a symmetrical pattern. For example, in this drawing, I drew the feet, the socks, and pants, etc. until I ended with the keychain. Kelt, on the other hand, draws in sections. Instead of completing the left foot and then moving onto the right (like I did), he drew the feet as one entity with one consecutive motion. He sees the figure as a whole, which creates a proportioned drawing. This skill also helps him draw quicker with little inhibition. He finishes his drawings in 5 minutes whereas it takes me 15. Even though he uses a pencil, he barely ever erases and is always happy with the final product. On the other hand, I force myself to use pen to prevent obsessive erasing and typically concentrate on the drawing's imperfections instead of viewing the picture as a whole.
