Gustavo, Age 10, Tennis
Monster
The Monster ate the guy playing tennis. The handprint on the page
was going to belong to a figure, but the paint dripped, so a monster
was invented. This monster has swallowed the tennis player whose hand
only is visible. By the age of ten transparency (as in Charles’s
#3 drawing) is passed up in favor of more realistic solid forms. Proportion
on both the monster and the three armed frog are carefully scaled in
this off centered, not symmetrical composition.
