Drawing

What will become of this

This started off as a doodle on the back of an electricity bill but ended up better than I anticipated.  I’ll use it as a preliminary drawing for future reference.  I think this image has been lurking in mind for a while, well if not the image at least the theme/title of a drawing (which I’ll keep to myself for the time being).  The theme is based on a word that has fascinated me for ages.  Shit better pay that bill now.

(Anti) Sugary

Medium: Graphite
Size: 250mm x 200mm

When I first saw this topic I thought WTF.  Here we go a million and one submissions all of them portraying sickly sweet and cute images.  I am so over cute and cuteness.  Only one course of action - rebel.  So the first thing that came into my head was sugar as food substance, and the antithesis of culinary sweet. 

I didn’t realise until I began drawing what a creased and craggy face Chef Ramsay has.  It’s really a quite interesting face, full of character, invective and bravado - great for drawing.

So just for all you donkeys out there, fuck off out of my kitchen.
