MIP (Mistake in Progress)

[Stuart h]

I don't normaly used a grid when doing a drawing, I use a complicated mathematical method of degrees and percentages that involves ruling lines all over the reference pic, writing my shopping list on the back of the mathematical list, losing the list at the supermarket, being unable to even see the reference pic anymore because of the stupid vandal who drew insane lines all over the place and then end up drawing a cool frog I saw earlier - from memory, by freehand. It works for me.

However - this pic is different. And I've screwed it up in a new and interesting way. I ruled the grid lines too hard or erased them too hard - I'm not sure which one.

Here is the MIP.

Help ! (Please ignore that it now looks like Gandalf the Wizard rather than Da Vinci..... that's what .... I ... intended allllll along.)

Doooh! Looks like you abraded the paper when you erased to hard. Look on the bright side, youv'e now got a nifty crop mark!

Thanks for the crop suggestion - Bo Vyne!

Maybe a crop and a background of somekind.

Or maybe you can turn the grid into something -- like a fence? he he I think it looks good, though. Good job.

Stuart -- I just got home from a wicked 12-hour workday, logged on to WC, and found this post. I'm sorry to learn that you're having problems with this rendering, but the entertainment value of your comments is off the scale. My sides hurt from laughing. And I laughed just as hard the third time I read the posts. Keeping your sense of humor is obviously keeping you going.

I like the most recent version you posted. Yes, it looks different from the original, but you're reinterpreted it well and turned this into a very new piece.

Think of this as . . . da Vinci's younger brother!
