How can I visually express the seven deadly sins?
I chose to do the seven deadly sins because the idea of it seems interesting to me, seeing how they are represented today and back then. I practiced tonal shading with pencil in both pieces for the character that represents sloth, to make the audience feel intimidated by the figure. I tried to experiment with different compositions to show the sin more explicitly to the audience for the piece that represents lust. I also experimented with colour for the figures, which was then applied in a final piece to show more texture in the character. I used dark and dull colours to further symbolise the sins which are not viewed in a positive nature. The character of lust that was revised with different compositions to try to communicate the sin more clearly. I tried to abstract the sin itself , gluttony, through expressing the loss of control and hopelessness a person with the sin may feel. For pride I represented the message that all sins are derived from this by adding the other faces from my other sin artworks.
