Selfie Still Life

so this project was, create a still life with small objects that matter to you, using contour lines. so my objects were my favorite pair of stilettos, my pearl necklaces and a bobble head giraffe i received when i graduated a DBT class. i used a viewfinder and one of my favorite black pens. my piece didn't really evolved it turned out just how i wanted it to and it looked like the original still life so i didn't have anything i wanted or needed to change. so the story behind this is i love shoes. i have always loved high heels, specially the funky pairs. so thats why i picked a my shoe. i picked the pearls for a better representation aspect. they were picked to show my fancy and fun fashion. because i never skip a situation that involves dressing up. i picked the giraffe bobble head because i had a ruff time last year and on my way to happiness i took a DBT class. DBT is a class about learning skills to cope with problems better. so being proud to have graduated, i love having my success giraffe around. i think this piece would be stronger if it had a background and more colors. I was planning on doing this all colorful. but i thought we were doing that step in class, we were not, oops. but thats ok i still like it kinda, because i normally go all out on my artwork. this picture now shows my tamer more black and white mind.
