(1.) Digital Drawing



I used the program Pixelmator (a poor man's Photoshop?) to create the drawing. In the process, I thought about the process of my own drawing and how I might be able to translate it digitally. It was difficult to get the energy of charcoal, or the ghost images created by an eraser, but I found similar techniques through the use of white and black; I did not erase any marks but instead "drew" over them using different tones. I did not use a tablet so mark making felt more unnatural but created different effects and marks than I think if I had one.
