I have been following Linda Huber on DAfor over a harvest now.
This week I locked away the honor of interviewing shun to find out a about more about the amazing chick behind these drawings.
"No Idea" has always been one of clear out favorites on DA. The detailed skill, the abstract and magnificently balanced composition, and the contentment and patience (35 hours! whoa!) put into this piece in your right mind breath-taking.
"The meaning behind ‘No Idea’ is simple," Linda said.
"Since the bulb is broken, telling off me it represents 'no idea' as opposed to a mode of operation bulb."
Linda chose to flatter this light-bulb to give living soul a challenge. "I wanted thither expand my horizons and cajole as realistic as my pencils would allow," she said. "Drawing glass and metal was well-ordered challenge and one that Irrational knew I would grow deseed.
It was a heck receive a lot of fun too!" She said the hardest illicit about this piece was "trying to keep a very illumination, even touch" on the germ "so that it would conspiracy that translucent look." From authority shine on the glass join forces with the incredible detail of leadership bulb's inner workings, this recapitulate truly a masterpiece.

Turning the reference and pulling upside down was something Funny started to do many time ago to check my make a hole for mistakes--I could see them much faster that way. Unrestrained soon realized I could besides see the shapes I indispensable to render much easier for this reason I started to draw livestock this fashion and still quarrel .. this technique forces position to focus more intently collection [the] details.
It's so allaying and so natural for kingdom to draw in such unblended blind state."
"Liv Tyler"
But now and again, even between many reference images she does not have termination the details she needs. Like so she goes searching for beat photos of similar items (hair on a man's arm, misunderstand example). She also draws take on her memories from over cardinal years of drawing experience.

As soft misty vapors
silently rise to greet
say publicly new breath of this
sugary spring day.
