micro project

Barnacles - October 2017 - Graphite

The purpose of this project was to choose or find a natural object and create a visual closeup of a certain part of it. I originally chose a piece of bark with very interesting texture, but soon after starting realized that purely textural work is really hard and time consuming. I hunted down this shell that definitely made a cool composition and wanted to simply use graphite and value to put the image together. I definitely could’ve put more time into this, but given the short period I had to finish, I am content with the current state of it.
