Sketchbook Friday: Pig Bat Flies Above

One of the best parts of my current job is collaborating with an artist named Kenny. Above is one in a series of drawings we have created together. We used pen, watercolor and colored pencils. Our styles play off each other in a very unusual and playful way. In "Pig Bat Flies Above" we passed the drawing back and fourth allowing each of us to take turns adding content. The narrative tends to change drastically with each pass, and the end result seems completely open ended until we decide it is finished. For this sketch we really went a lot of directions and I did not even notice the two figures (one female and one flying pig bat) until my second pass. Often I get lost on adding a different element and forget to explore the entire drawing.

Each Friday at noon I scan in one new sketch or drawing from one of my many sketchbooks. Many times my sketches are ideas for larger projects that you might find on my fine art website William Hessian dot com, or as projects right here on my Bearded Bunny art blog.
