Talk to the Handle

Posted
This one came from Planet Claire. But hey, if I draw something, and it survives Botification, I'm posting it even if I can't explain it. And I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "Cheap shot, drop shadow!" Well yes, yes it is. There is a drop shadow and it's largely indefensible. But wait! Let me try to defend it, anyway You see, I made the drawing too short. Aligning the bottom of the necks of the head things with the bottom edge of the page would have tortured the composition. Now, I could have shrunk the page size, but then I would have just passed the discomfort on to anyone who tried to frame a print. The only thing I could think of to accommodate the image and balance the composition was a frame. Once I had the frame in place, I succumbed to temptation and added the shadow. All I can say is, the next time I'm drawing head things, I'll try to remember to give them a bit more neck.
