MY CONCENTRATION IS REFLECTION AND THE LINE BETWEEN REALITY/ UNREALITY, i guess.
This is my first piece. It is of my friend Hailey's legs and their shadow on the beach. (that's sand on the ground). I hadn't done any forshiz drawing for a while, so it was good to get back to it. I've always like just, well, drawing something. I was trying to do a reflection other than just in the usual reflective surfaces.... yeah. I like the background. I feel like this is a fairly satisfactory piece? The only thing that bothers me is how bright the bumps on the jeans are. From close up they don't look as ridiculously white, but from far away (like in the picture) they stand out. Which bothers me. Does that even make sense?
My second piece is from a picture of a penguin skeleton I took while on the zoo trip (which was great, btw). It's done in charcoal pencil thing, which I've never really used before, so it was fun I guess to figure it out. The skeleton was located in a glass box and so the background is the reflection of the skeleton in the glass. I wanted to create a different feel with the reflection, so it was done in pencil and with hatching-type stuff. Yeah. I think I like this one too. It was slightly frustrating trying to figure out the charcoal pencil.
