Officine Rossopuro 'Big Red'

Starting to sketch in a sketchbook that has grey paper. It's amazing how dynamic the picture can become once you dabble some white on the page. Also, for some reason, I feel like I learn something new every time I sketch. Creating this sketch revealed to me how clean and beautiful lines look if you get them right on the first two tries especially if you apply them with enough weight that they stand out without needing to go over them again. It's crazy but having a line that is off by a quarter of a millimeter or waves off of a straight line by the tiniest amount can really be the difference between having the sketch be perceived as a tight clean sketch versus a quick "whatever" sketch. I think the goal of all this sketching is to not only hopefully tear it up in Viscom4 when I get there, but to truly understand the expression of form. Not sure if I mentioned that before but I'm excited for the possibilities that lay ahead. (Tearing it up in Viscom4 would be pretty satisfying as is though).
