Rocko Portrait Drawing Progression

Written By Laura Bohon
 
 

Hey There, happy new year. I am sharing a drawing progression I worked on last month. This was a really fun little buddy to draw, his name is Rocko! This year in my drawings I am really loving drawing animals and searching for shapes and structure relationships. I love the start of a drawing. I think the initial stages of a drawing reveal where the piece really began in the eyes and mind. To share clearly the initial stages of this drawing I’ve shared large images below.

This drawing was originally started with the intent to be painted over. However, the surface of this paper and the structural nature of the drawing inspired me to maintain it as a drawing. I hope you enjoy the images and have fun drawing.

Have a great one, and reach out if you’d like to chat about drawing or teaching.

cheers,

Laura

Through drawing and painting, she creates what she calls "a tactile archaeology of presence" and works that translate the quiet accumulation of sensory experience, memory, and research into a 2D visual form.

Trained in both contemporary and classical traditions, Laura combines rigorous observational practice with somatic awareness.
