the wing dress progress report: from the "wof-wof" to a glam bird...?

been a while since my
last wing drawing post

been workin on
two wing drawings simultaneously
and silently

one of them is what you see today



this is where i left off



the top of the wing
looking a bit like a hound
so i named it the "wof-wof wing"
and worked on the other drawing

until a month later.....

first,
removed a few of
the left ears



then
the scale-like feathers
well, most of them



few days spent observing with
loosely-focused glances

recognize a new growth



growing further....



decided to simplify a bit
too cluttered, i thought

more erasing action



detail of changes took place

comparing the below two
(number 2 and 3)

can you tell what's been changed?

before


....and after


one more set

again, before....


...and after


then i saw
the "hound" ears are now
floatin
like an airborne wig!



wig gone



this is where it gets fun!

starting to "see"
impractical,
unrealistic,
floaty feathers
riding and clinging

i'm referring to
where it is erased white



so this is the updated "wing"
not done yet but
gettin close


when the drawings are done i will be
tracing them onto a dress!

it will be
very
cool



my inspiration sources for the drawing are
something like.....

this,


this and...


this!

the above photo, from unknown source,
of
mr. (brian) eno in his roxy music days
very brief glam period of
the professor eno

i rate him as the
best of the "glam" kind
i am talkin "style"

now,
style, fashion, rag, garment
whatever you call it
it would not work unless
the wearer has an
inner necessity to dress
just that way

the art of clothing and style is
by nature, at its best,
a philosophical act


in his recent interview
mr. eno commented on the glam period
quite positively

unlike many of his peers,
without a tinge of
one of those embarrassment

(but i don't recall his words
if i find the article, i will post it)


that glam-ish "elsewhere".....
that is, in fact, everywhere
in daily daily-ness of everyday life!!!

how delightful is that, i'd say


good night
