Looking at your patterns...
I took out old sketchbooks to look at patterns in my drawings. I would hope that there was some sort of miraculous evolution but some thoughts I had 6-7 years ago are pretty similar to where I am now:
-Autobiographical
-A slice of everyday life
-Humorous
-Sketcherly and intuitive
-Detailing internal struggles, sometimes uplifting, sometimes sad.
I also thought about the artists I adore:
-Sir Quentin Blake
-Lynda Barry
-Jennifer Hayden
-Roz Chast
I admire their work and have been inspired by their drawing and writing. They have their own unique style and share a sense of humor and optimism laced with energy.
Do you have a style or pattern in your own work?
