Value: Personal value, light and dark, shape, form, values in math, human form,
I chose to title my piece as comedic value. This portrait of Gretta laughing was inspired by the importance of finding the comedy of very situation. I decided to use white charcoal on black charcoal paper to symbolize comedy brightening up a dark situation.
One artist that inspired me was Thomas Ruff; his negative still inspired the white on black part of the piece. Then, Florian Nicole’s portrait of a crying woman made me think of showing a strong emotion in my piece, mine being happiness. While executing this piece, I think I could have measured and planned the angles of the face better. When looking back at the picture
I used to draw this piece I notice that her face is at a different angle then what I drew. I don't believe I took a big risk with this portrait honestly. I like working in black and white, and white charcoal is something that im comfortable using. The challenge that I had was drawing her glasses. Ive never really drawn glasses before and I learned that the shape of them really matters. You have to get the shape of the frames just right so they look like they are at an angle with the face. The reflection in the lenses also was a little tricky because at first the white spots just looked like part of her eye. In the end I am very pleased with this piece
