Mixed Media Drawing

Artist Statement

Describe: The subject of my piece is my eye with sunlight shining on it. I used black and white charcoal. I chose to do it like this because I thought the sun made the lighting look really cool. The piece is pretty centered.

Analyze: I use selective focus and silhouette lighting. There's shadowing I did was black charcoal to make the eye stand out more. Throughout my project I kept adding more and more shadow and dark colors and I still feel like there should be darker areas.

Evaluate: The story behind it was that one day I was standing in my bathroom washing my hands and there was a light stream coming out through my window so I took a sic pic. It relates to my life because it's me. I think my art could be stronger by adding even more darkness and charcoal to add more dimensions. ALSO more eyelashes my eye looks super naked.
