When the mind whirs. These below are insights into how thought processes develop. At times? A lightbulb moment of ‘Yes…possible’. At other times? Gray….you’re crazy Man. You ain’t got the skills’.

The latter utterance? It just provides a challenge in all honesty and determination starts to rear its head.

So…….thoughts.

These little weird and naive doodles of mine, the Ragged Angel and LeFarh and future others, if they get better, could maybe be used for a song’s lyrics, each image appropriate for the song theme. Or song titles, etc. Or even general CD cover inclusions. Could also be used as stills or moving imagery for inclusions for videos.

It would be nice to get at this song below again with some type of storyboard of ‘movingstaggered motion’ doodle inclusions. Not the simplicity of a singular black and white photograph of the Visitors Centre on the Ynyslas Dunes. I could put imagery on top of a photograph maybe and bring an air of oddity into creating a juxtaposition of layers.

How?

Still thinking……but it may be an idea to take still photographs of various stages of an image, like the ‘Ragged Angel’ idea, until complete. Or get a moving, ever changing background of, for example, some intense weather changes. Maybe a few angels can be drawn having bowed heads and forlorn expressions to go on to upright confident outlooks with brighter days imagery. How do you get ‘cartoon’ picture movement? Maybe use pencil, rub out specific parts and redraw the stance? Who knows!

A journey of learning begins!

This below too, ‘There She Goes’, could have a singular story in completion. A group of or singular conversation exchanges of ‘My friends tell me She’s gone for good’, etc. ‘Walking hand in hand by the sea…..until we, say our goodbyes, touch the sky…..’.

And a huge NO! to using an AI storyboard.

I’m beginning to try to produce some quick little 3 to 5 minute-sketches. Unfortunately I’m not an artist. But it is rather fun to doodle. Hopefully it will be a ‘sit down and try to improve’ experimentation experience. The aim…..just enjoy the act of simply drawing dozens on dozens of little weirdly appropriate pencil images, with inspiration linked to my song lyrics.

You can tap on an image below and it will fill up each and every page.

It would be rather nice if something visually ‘clicked’. Get a Summers’ style of presentation that made the whole drawing process somewhat easier. I like raggedy imagery to be honest. With Autumn rustic colour washes over them? Could work.

Will probably, at first, try enhancing with the Autumnal tree inks below. These below were bought for me by Angie, and seem ideal.

The Green Faerie? Not my artwork.
