I still feel like a kid when I have a big sheet of paper in front of me. In my opinion this is the best part of the experience of drawing.
I like to draw with charcoal and a wet brush, making marks and creating shadows. I collage pieces of paper over areas I want to rework. This often fractures the space in a way that I enjoy playing with. Things move backwards and forwards on the picture plane creating their own rhythm. I often leave drawings taped to boards around the studio for up to a year. In this respect I have been able to treat drawings more like paintings.
