Step #2 draw a few abstracts of the same object that I drew a rendering of.

Rendering of hat  

The first abstraction  

I ended up drawing 16 plus abstractions of hats. I decided to change to the second hat in my sculpture series "Gust".  Some of these drawings are temporarily on exhibit at Glassell near the drawing class.

I will post a few of these separately.  It took me about 12 hats until I loosened  enough to get something I liked. Looking back at these drawings in  order you can see the gradual changes I made in strokes and materials. When I compare the first with the last  I realize why abstract art is so interesting.
