Right after I finished my Flowers for the last prompt I got to work on 'Linear". I'm not sure I followed the prompt to the letter of the rule...which was to draw something with only straight lines, like on a etch a sketch. But I quickly envisioned making a living being, either human or animal from one shape. I chose a human and triangles. Amazingly, I had this guy drawn in less than 10 minutes and then another ten minutes to add color and lettering (also all with straight lines).
I have never, ever drawn an interesting looking human in my life. All my humans look stiff and un-natural and frankly, like a second grader drew them. No offense to second graders...some could definitely outdraw me! But Mr. Lineman looks like he has personality! And great form! He could become the star of a cartoon strip.
Needless to say I am quite pleased with myself and don't mind saying so. What a great follow up to being unable to draw a flower. The next prompt is Certification...as in draw up a certificate in something you are good at. I may have to make it for ability to draw a human out of triangles. :)
