Common heros - Screwdriver

(drawing of a photo-negative)

(digital invertation of the 'negative-drawing')

Description

Terrace - After 20 years in rain and weather the wood terrace-railing needs to be repaired. I have to scrape off the old color, grind the wood and paint it with new color. The railing consists of 10 individual sections each with 6 Phillips-screws. I could do it with the simple hand screwdriver, but I have a modern-battery-screwdriver!

I've used the simple hand screwdriver countless times. It's just a nondescript tool - but very important.

Terrace - 6 screws are done - no problem with the battery-screwdriver

About the drawing

To try something new, I have drawn the negative of a photo (during the creation I saw the negativ on my computer).

It was not planned, but when it was finished, I asked myself: how actually does my drawing look like, if I would invert it on my computer?

You can say: I created a negative with my pencil and digitally developed a photo.
