Due to the vague abstract nature of these weird drawings, at times I try to picture these MACRODONS in ways I did not initially intend them to look. In this case we have bean-shape + fin, but, after a while it looked like a side view of a MACRODON sticking it's really flat, really long tongue up into the sky.
There are a few ideas that were persistent throughout this set of drawings. 2 of them present here, I started several bean-shaped figures, sort of like this one here, & I was also trying to work out some ideas for things on MACRODONS' heads, see the last post for a strange anemone growth, and this MACRODON is really fuckin' punk-rock.
I had begun designs for MANY other MACRODONS in the past month or two while I also continued to make one MACRODON drawing per day. At times while working on a drawing, an idea would come to mind that may not have been relevant to the MACRODON of the day, so, many little scribbles, some more refined than others, were put away until recently -I refined these ideas a bit and now here they are. The next 20+ drawings complete the Moleskine sketchbook I started quite a while ago before I took a break and switched to the second accordion sketchbook I have recently been using.
giant slug or MACRODON
BOTH!
?
I flipped the drawing on it's side, because I don't really see too many MACRODONS flying, and one with this shape seems to need to be grounded by gravity, below it appears quite odd 'flying'.
I was having a very hard time resolving this drawing, at one point it seemed to want to go in two completely different directions, or are they 2 MACRODONS conjoined at the head?
see below for the direction the drawing didn't take, but I felt the need to attempt to resolve it via Photoshop by clocking out it's conjoined sibling.
it would appear that the last few drawings didn't really retain any significant signs of the underdrawing: MACRODON #327, just some dots...
those are weird little feet
those are even weirder feet, almost as if little MACRODONS are attached to it's feet. And below, the mess of the prior MACRODON #327 drawing that this MACROODN and his weird feet replaced.
sometimes the process of drawing over MACRODON #327 was quite smooth, and certain shapes from the original section naturally gave way to a new MACRODON form.
I began by covering up most of what I didn't want from MACRODON #327 with a light wash, but as can be seen below, most of the details remain somewhat present.
I drew over MACRODON #327... I'm not entirely sure why, I suppose I was somewhat displeased with it... I broke-up the pages that comprised MACRODON #327 into separate MACRODON drawings, so, the next 8 posts will show a bit of the progression in this change that occurred. Above, the end result for this particular drawing.
this was the first direction the drawing went in, but it seemed too literal, too much like a dinosaur, not much abstraction or anything left to the imagination... and below, this is the dissected section of MACRODON #327:
ATTACK !
