Movement

For my movement piece I originally wanted to draw a dancer in the middle of the page. But then I thought it was too predictable and I still want to try and stay away from eyes. I believe I've done well with that lately. I found this picture on this awesome photography website, Shutterstock.com. I chose this picture becuase it sends a loose feeling. It's not depressing, but it's not screaming 'party time' either. It's kind of in the in between world, where one's with themselves. Her hair is a kind of mask and her skin tone and shadows show off her beauty. I just think this picture has a lot more to say than I can put in words. I'm very proud of it and think it deserves higher than a three.

Contour Line

For my contour line drawing I decided to do an angry tiger because there's more agression in the expression and more wrinkles to play with. I started with drawing all the weaved part, then colored in the spaces between. I then shaded the weaved part, then colored the eyes any mouth with colored pencil. This was by far the most liberating project I've done so far, and I think the outcome isn't too bad. It was deffinately different for me and I took a dive. Although it took me three weeks instead of one I believe this is a 4.
