DOZING OFF

 

(HB pencil on 115mm x 80mm paper)

A dreamscape piece which seems to focus more on the dream construct around the the character who appears to be dropping off to sleep. Everything takes a fluid, and metamorphic, aspect before a dream finally takes shape.

I used the same techniques of shading and overshading, as I did in the last dreamscape work that I did. The shapes that stood out early on were that of the woman under the blanket. She's clearly out of proportion, and I did nothing to correct that, opting to simply let the image take its own form. The same goes for all the other shapes within the piece. It's normal for faces to appear in such work, as we're naturally conditioned to recognise them and therefore tend to see them more in patterns.

It wasn't the blatant fact that she was sat naked in a waiting room next to an invisible man who wore a harlequin hat, bow tie and kinky cod-piece to get himself noticed. Or that there was a hideous, bug-eyed, tentacled monster making sexual advances on her.

No, all this seemed quite normal in her mind.

The point that finally made her realise she was dreaming was that the dragon-headed man had the nerve to be smoking in a no smoking area and she just couldn't accept it.

I mean, she thought, how fucking dare he?!
