Merge Into the Darkness

Statement:

• In this artwork, my goal is creating the profile of myself in the darkness, showing the profile from a type of angle.
• I accomplished these pictures by using charcoal and erase to make white shape and black shadow, and afterwards use white charcoal to emphasis white color.
• My painting is about the brightness of white shape which create the special effect of the self profile.
• The most difficult challenge is making the drawing dimensional. Or rather make them look like me.
• I meet the challenge by modifying the outline lot of times to make them dimensional.
• My drawing is especially good at the glasses reflecting light in the darkness.
• In next painting, I will try to make the eye and other detail more realistic.
• Connie Hayes is the artist I learned from, especially about the variety of ways to contrast color and blending them to create different effect.
• Genna's painting is appealing to me because the use of color which contrast with the white shape.
• I would redo the eyes and the detail of hair.
• I feel best about the shape of brightness.
