Charcoal has never been my first choice in art, but I'm happy with the result. I was inspired by Matt Manley when it came to the frames (google him if you must). The different perspectives on the skeletons remind me of Siamese twins. The bottom half of the drawing is a bit under developed and the hip bone is unshaded. I fully intend on fixing that.....later. I planed it out before I started working so that there would be a sense of composition and thought. I'm unsure of the contrast between objects weather it needs darkening or not.Starving Artist

Sarah-I think this piece really works. Your ideas with multiple perspectives are unique and intriguing, and you used design really well through repetition of the frames around the skeleton. I think it would be better if you extended the skeleton by drawing its legs...it looks a little awkward ending abruptly at the spine. You could also improve contrast in the background. Awesome job!
ReplyDeleteI like the composition of this- it is very balances while still interesting. I think there should be a wider range of value in the piece though. Maybe you could also work back in with some interesting marks to make the piece more complete.
