René Aigner's Sketchbook

[ReneAigner]

It's called the Reilly abstraction. You can read up on it here: http://www.fredfixler.com/index.php/cave-22/


I've always been more of a painter then a draughtsman. I do line drawings for every painting of course, but they're always a means to an end, for construction or as a value map. So I thought, why not give line drawing a go. Haven't done this in years. So different to mass drawing/painting. The great thing is that these line drawings don't take me nearly as long as a full blown painting, so I get a lot more construction/measuring practice in the same amount of time since I can do multiple ones in the time it takes me to do one painting. Another upside is that the reference doesn't have to be as well lit with these line drawings since values/masses are secondary to the lines. Will definetely do this again sson =)
