The Making of an Artwork: Eleven.
Jun. 8th, 2010 12:22 amHey all. After watching "Vincent and the Doctor", I was savagely inspired to do a painting of our newest incarnation of Gallifrey's favourite rebel, The Doctor. Now, in a way, this painting was a total failure. My aim was to do a piece:
- In one day
- Loosely and quickly
- With feeling and freedom
I did not finish it in one day, rather two days. It's not really loose nor free, except in the background and the jacket and the hair (maybe). Never mind, though, because I think I got a rather intriguing piece out of it. It's different from anything I've done before. Darker, more sombre, and it's funny because it's darker and more sombre than any David Tennant drawing or painting that I've done, and Ten was the more Emo Doctor. Anyway, I decided that while I was painting this piece, I'd take photos of my progress. I thought it might be fun for people to see how a piece develops. So, we begin!
