I have experimental lines in here, but i still have a tendency of erasing some rough draft lines in attempt to be PERFECT. I think ghosting prior to experimental strokes will do good for my following sketches to carry more flow in form and not get caught up in the contours seen.

A constant battle to redirect my mind to representing the composition with simple line construct (CSI) and get an easily digestible representation of what is actually a complex reference image.

Certainly is tricky to tap into the mindset of representing shapes in simple geometry using C, S, I while maintaining likeness. It is a tactical game to fight against the urge to copy cat the nuance contours. KEEP IT SIMPLE.

Already know i was too careful with my line work and need to free up the shoulder in creating sketched ellipses. I will need to loosen my grip with eraser and let the motion happen. However, fun to see the progression of shrooms populate the page.

Thinking of the drawing as a fella wielding a chainsaw at an ice block was a “cool” way of establishing edgy planes.

Had used graphite rather than charcoal and disregarded dark background, however i hope the rest of image is fairly similar.
