Prismacolor Sticks Portrait Drawing on an on X-RAY Envelope

A couple of years ago I went to the chiropractor. I had some standard procedure x-rays done and on a whim, I asked for copies. I saved them all these years and today I drew a portrait using prismacolor sticks, of a student of mine named Keanu on the manilla envelope the X-rays came in. I decide the blue wasn't dark enough in some spots so I mixed in black prisma stick. Made a video and here it is.

Portrait drawing with a fork!

I did an ink drawing with a fork. it was fun. I have been drawing with kids in class for a while. They need to see me working. they see how the artist works. I teach an AP Studio Art Drawing class. We discuss things like mark-making. Mark making is pretty important when it comes to art. your marks are as unique as your fingerprints. every artist has their way of laying down marks and no matter how much you learn from another teacher your marks will always be uniquely yours. So learn everything you can from other artists, but also pursue the art of unique mark-making. With that being said this drawing was fun fun fun. I was in class. we were doing a lesson on Jim Dine and I was explaining superfluous marks. and the energy that comes from them. I was discussing how marks need to be confident and intentional, but lose and spontaneous. A plastic fork was in my desk drawer and it became the new object of my affection. I put up some drawing paper, got out a reference photo I had taken of one of my students a few days earlier, drew his contours and then filled in the shadows with a plastic fork or a "super cross-hatcher" however you want to look at it. Here's the video.
