I have now added Sweep and two Blurs to my gallery of line-centric drawings, if you’re interested. Lots of amazingly cool people own my stuff. Honest. Yet still not enough. Please share if you can www.chloecumming.com/almost-drawi...
Sweeping drawing of sweep in charcoal and graphite with coloured little bits in hard pastel, red nose, based on an old puppet A drawing of early nineties blur in charcoal and graphite with some red and orange highlight type bits, crude Alex Mechanical pencil blur sort of wiggly and taking subtle liberties, circa 1994
