Space Dinosaur Lizard Thing

When I draw, I will sketch my initial idea out in very gestural lines and then step back and imagine the possibilities of what I’ve just put down on paper. The lines will intersect and overlap and begin to form a foot or a head of something in places that I wouldn’t normally put one. It’s really no different than when someone sees a face in a knot of wood or a rabbit in a cloud formation. That’s the case with this drawing. I was going to draw a city scene. Instead, I went up with it and created a creature of some sort. The obvious problem with this is drawing right up to the spine of my sketchbook – evident here. Still managed to keep it on one sheet of paper. Just so you know my thought process, if I were to continue drawing on this sketch, I would put some lizard things in the way background – in flight, of course and drew some bat wings on this guy. Instead. I’m on to the next one.
