The Human Canvas - Dr. Who, Dr. Jha, and Da Sharpie!

Meet...The Professor.


Um...I don't always call her this.
Sometimes it's Dr. Jha. And she doesn't
always look like this. The above picture is
from a few nights after the Human Canvas
session we're talking about here.

We were getting ready to go
to a bit of an open house at University of Redlands.

 

 
This session,
about 25 minutes before we were set to leave,
was a bit of an experiment...again. 
 
An experiment in fine line...


...very basic design...


...and just a touch of color.


Something that can blended,
with just a light scrub of alcohol.
This a bit reminiscent of the session
referred to as "The Butterfly and the Big Bruise".
You can click HERE for a link, but here's
the (first) attempt at erasing that
inspired the name:


Yuck, right?

But look at it
again as a blending of color,
along with the creation of NEW color.
Colors you won't ordinarily get with even
your best array of Sharpies. You can CONTROL it...


...for a rather attractive look...


...especially when
you go back in with a bit of
black to re-define.


Done?


Well, after adding
a quick signature - as it were -



...and powdering it,
to give it a bit more of
an under-the-skin look...


...NOW we're done.
There were several people
at the open house that thought
this was a real tattoo.
Cool!


Thank you Priya. This was long over due.

And thank YOU for
making time for me to draw on you NEXT!
There are two tabs near the top of the page
which show all of the (documented) Human Canvas
sessions so far. Thanks for checking it out, for your
comments, and your encouragement. More soon.
I'm excited by this new method, and am quite
anxious to continue. The above session was
only the night before this writing.
