Phew. So I am finished with finals finally! Once again, my brain is blank... not much to say. I've been slowly preparing for my trip home on Tuesday. I went through my clothes and got rid of some things I never wear. I collected some books, papers, etc. that I won't be using anymore and now I have a huge pile of unused items sitting in my room waiting to be loaded into my car isn't coming home with me right now, but I thought I'd get it out of the way and save Matthew the trouble of packing up all my junk for me. I'm sure he appreciates it. :)
So anyway, today's post includes artwork from Freshman year at SCAD... let's see what I can dig up!
Alright: artwork from Drawing 1
White chalk on black paper... it was interesting to draw because unlike a regular drawing of black on white where you draw the shadows and the highlights are the paper, I had to draw the highlights and not draw the shadows... Quite challenging.
This is the beginning of this drawing to show you a little bit of the process. It is charcoal on bristol paper.
This is the finished product... or so I thought. I brought it to class and my professor said, "Okay. Now you have to destroy it." ...
So THIS is the final product. I actually like the one that isn't "destroyed, " but I didn't have a choice because it was the assignment. I still like it though!
Alright. Well that's all for today! Let me know what you think!
Elise - very cool drawing! I would have to agree, that the finished work is very nice and the distressed one still look great but doesn't have as much of the contrast and emotion of the intact one. I also really like the right side of the initial sketch.. it's neat.. Thanks for posting!
