Coffee Cup Drawings

death coil (4)

death coil (4)

"why did i do this to myself!?" was a question that came up alot while i was working on this piece. an entire weekend of drawing (alot of snake scales), followed by days of just staring at it for ideas on how to fill the negative spaces on the cup, after i was done with drawing the guy and the snake. i finally finished it today, (sept 15) after about a week of work. i spent probably half that time just staring at the cup, and the rest of the time praying that i dont make any mistakes. drawing the foot was a huge challenge. i was never too good at drawing feet, but i thought it turned out good. i also studied alot of tattoo works and japanese and chinese prints. i had to keep in mind that keeping the proportions accurate isnt a concern when it comes to the tattoo designs i have seen. so i wasnt as anal about where the leg began on the body. as long as it is graphically pleasing to the eye, it is good. i plan to just draw stick men on cups for the next few weeks. cheers, boey
