| Drawing for The Forever Painting II |
Oil painting originally seen here and more here.
Pencil drawing seen here.
This thing is physically huge. Hard to take decent pictures of. For the original painted version, my wife stood in front of the canvas, and I traced her shadow in chalk.
Sometimes as an artist, you return to the same theme multiple times and keep exploring and refining it. I'd love to make a new painting based on the trees, but haven't had a long enough gap in my schedule, so one day worked up the little drawing to make the mental note about it.
You may also notice that in addition to flying trilobites, it has a DNA-Candle, much like the ones I showed last week.

I love that manipulated sketch of the flying trilobite- it almost looks like a woodcut. Beautiful work!
Thanks, T-rexy!
Early Photoshop experimentation with a pencil sketch.
