The hair of it all. I'm rather entranced by the mirroring of the images, which then creates another image. The hair is coming along wonderfully, really interested to see you complete this piece. I was studying the marks in the hair, the way you've used the primsacolours. There are these wavy lines and also these stroking lines, all with a lot of movement that I find appealing.

I've never seen this quote, so I gave that a ponder for a bit. Thanks for including that. I'd share my thoughts on it but I'm still letting it steep.
I noticed you're using loose pieces of paper, so not a book. For curling edges, I use binder clips clipping to a book, board, or whatever flat surface that works. I clip just the edges to keep it flat for photographing, then crop out the little bit of clips. If not that, I'll use painters or masking tape, small pieces.
I usually end up rotating the paper so much i would need to mask it down on a Lazy Susan Lockable Turntable. Thanks for the tips though. I might have to implement them at some point in the future. It's more of a damage control situation now! hahaha I don't have this problem with heavier stock paper, usually.
My problem is i like to detail the edges. I should have listened to my old art teacher that emphasized how important it is to create a border before starting.
That quote was quite profound to me as well. The other quote was super cool as well... just not as epic.
I'm glad you noticed the different techniques to created the layers, depth, and movement of the strands of hair. It can get a bit busy and easy to overlook... but i was/am happy with the way that's working out. I am also quite enthralled with the mirroring effect. I have only ever done it a few times before but it was in reverse. I might have to recreate one of those here soon. Thanks for stopping by and leaving such a thoughtful comment! I appreciate you.
That creates quite the picture. 😂
I also don't do a border and work to edges of paper.
Both quotes were cool, I just hadn't heard the Kadinsky one before.
Looking forward to seeing the finished piece and you're welcome!
