Artist's Comments


AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

Well, here's some stuff from my drawing class that I thought I would share.

These are kinda "blind" abstract drawings. They all started out as drawings made with my eyes closed, and then I went back into them, added shading, etc.
It was my first assignment for my drawing class. The first one (top left) is the best one I did in class (frankly, the others aren't too great) and the other three were for homework.

All of these are HUGE, like 24 inches by 36 inches I think? Yeah, I'm totally not used to working on that scale, most of my art is like 6 inches by 8 inches xDDD

WOOO SUBCONCIOUS IMAGES I GUESS... YAYYY.
enjoy?

media: 100% charcoal on giant newsprint.

Yeah, too much actually!
I have to admit, I did sort of draw some things resembling actual shapes/objects, so you can find some hidden things if you look for them I guess. xD (leaves, bones, spider webs, eyes)

AWWWW D:

YEAH, those eyessss... I just found them and then made them look more like eyes. They're very creepy felineish eyes, hehe xD
THANKS.

I've been kinda surprised how well charcoal has clicked with me. I used to despise it, but I think on a larger scale it's a lot more tolerable. xD

These are fantastic!! So atmospheric! And you have such great control of the medium - something that's really tough when it comes to charcoal. :]
