Description
Mark (anahata.c) suggested I should post these Stoneage Axes from from the time, when I was drawing for the Local Museum. I have been drawing about 100 axes, like these. This is 3 Axes seen from both sides. It gave me such a good routine and experince to draw every day and I loved every minut :) Sorry for the quality. Had an accident when I resize them years back. Wrong settings :(
Have a beautiful day new week. It is cold here but we have beautiful sunshine. I am back for a while.

Wow, Helle, you are such an excellent draughtswoman! These are brilliant, I should like to see more.
Thanks, Andrea. I have only a few more, as the didnt let me take my own drawing home to scan them. They were afraid something should happen to them.. LOL! I never thought anybody would treasure my humble drawings. but they did. (I took a few home for scanning, when the boss had vacation)
Outstanding work Helle. God bless.
Superb representation of the splendidly articulated stone age axes, Helle. Glad you're back, for at least a while. You are an excellent draftswoman.
did wonderful work
These look great, Helle! That must have been a fascinating job, working with a museum. Superb artwork, my friend!
I'm starting to get inspired to pick up a pencil again - when I have time...
I'm glad Mark talked you into posting these! More would be good. 😀
I'm with the above, and I'm glad I inspired you to post these. I'm sorry I didn't comment when you posted them, but you knew how I felt. (This was the point time when my flu was at its peak. I felt the way these arrows felt---stone, carved up, and belonging in a museum display case.) I gotta tell you, I never handled curves and gullies the way you did. Never. You got the cuts and curves and gouges of these pieces of stone beautifully. Some of these look like obsidian---I doubt they are, but your drawing makes them look that way, with the glassy surfaces and the beautiful perfect curves. You tackled all kinds of shapes and surfaces. And I like that you showed front and back of each (as I assume the museum wanted you to). Shows the less treated stone next to the heavily carved version. On the bottom right, we see the pure curves on the right-most drawing: And we can see how, with few lines, you turn mere lines into genuine recesses and shadows. These are marvelously detailed, whether dark or light; and each drawing has its own presence. It has a presence. It stands there and speaks to us directly. I'm so glad you still have some to show. This is wonderful work to see, and it's a great foundation for your art. I'm with Andrea 100%.
