In illustration class, we would carefully do an accurate drawing on tracing paper, transfer it to illustration board, and try and ink over the pale transfered graphite line.. with our left hand, if we were right handed. We thought that might be the key to a loose spontaneous line. Well, the line definitely staggered, but we found that (at the most) 75% of the drawing looked cool, but the remainder just didn't cut it.. very hard to have enough control with the opposite hand, especially with an involved illustration.<br /><br />Great week on Saris, Leif. I had nearly forgotten about him. <br /><br />Tom WatsonTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237565169344311948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-66521858292413828202009-11-20T10:44:35.972-05:002009-11-20T10:44:35.972-05:00What I'm enjoying the most in Saris' drawi...What I'm enjoying the most in Saris' drawings is the staggered broken line he uses rather than a single clean stroke, which is so often over-rated by inkers.David Blaine Clemonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12237175583547473530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-40362052891144949932009-11-19T22:34:40.219-05:002009-11-19T22:34:40.219-05:00Thanks again, Leif, for the education.

A unique and excellent draftsman....and a unique approach to illustration.
