Thingness of dragon. <3

Omg, yes, so very much so!

I really enjoyed reading the printer's POV of Picasso's process. It was a little sad how he/they did completely NOT GET IT. His last iteration screams "BULL", even if one hadn't seen the previous versions, all in nine lines. *.*

Did you do them in the same order that he did? It's so interesting, from a process point of view - both his and your process is laid out in sequence, but each drawing has it's own process as well. Process onion!

I think my favourite one has to be number nine, for the beautifully confident neck-back-tail line that rebounds so deliciously into the flame-shape on the end of his tail.

NOM! And NOM AGAIN!

I thought the printer's POV was really interesting as well. I do wonder why the head wasted away. For me, the thingness of a bull is mostly the head.

I did do them in his order, yes! I kept wanting to skip ahead, but I held back, because I didn't know what the end should be, if I didn't do the work to get there. I wonder how it would've been different if I'd drawn the last one first... probably quite a bit different, probably more angular; maybe better, I don't know. I really enjoyed it, though! Figuring out what was essential and what could go.

Nine is missing hir tiny little T-Rex arms! XD

*hearts processtalk with you*
