It sounded difficult to do at first but after a drawing for a bit, I got into it. It was a bit challenging to do because I make 2D art. I've always wanted to have some sort of cool background and this of course, was good practice. The face was challenging too since I am terrible at drawing faces. I always mess up somewhere and when i try to fix it, i end up making it worse by accident, However, with this one i really tried to pay attention to the negative space and I feel like it turned out fine. The forehead it a bit off but it doesn't matter, I'll pay attention on my future works.I didn't really have to think of this much, it just came to me and I'm can Intrepurt This in different ways already. I wanted to make a peice pertaining to one's sexuality and dreams. Though I think that will definitely shine through I have a few inprepurtations of this rough sketch. 1. The mysonginistic dream of a man ring surrounded by beautiful women is no secret. In society girls are shamed for having sex and guys are made fun of for not having enough of it. So we a male in the center who isn't even insterested. Is he gay? Asexual? Maybe he's just not interested in the attention. The circles around him are supposed to be a crowd representing on how pressuring and controlling other people are of your sexuality. He has the option for freedom(the gun) and escape from society's grasp and be whatever he would like to be. He also has the exist which is the alternative to the gun, but he'll continue his life as it was before. While the females will be nude, the male will be fully dressed. This is because I was watching some clips from Miss America Beauty Pageant and in the swim suit competition the host(male) was standing in front of them fully clothed presenting them as "beauuuutiful!" With hand movements similar to how someone would present a trophy. 2. It struck me while sketching it how much it kind of reflects my current frustrations. I won't go into any detail since I'm sure no one wants to hear it but I thought it would be worth mentioning my personal connections with the peice so far. I condensed most of my interpretation on the first one as I realized it all fit in. This may be one of my more powerful peices if I pull it off correctely. Figure sketching was what one would imagine doing in a drawing class. At least we finally get to it but sadly it didn't last long. I had fun trying to challenge myself to get as much complete in the time I had. It forced me to look at the curves and body movements and how to get it down in a quick time. Drawing people is my main goal for this class since I was never all that good at drawing them. So obviously, I would've like it if we continued this for longer but what can you do. I might practice on my own time. As simple as it is deep, I think I've learned a lot about perceiving negative space instead of the positive.If I could start again, i think i would make the mouths more detailed. I couldn't due to time but I also wouldn't know how to do it but man would it be nice.So for the most part, I'm happy with the piece. As the artist, I'm actually not sure if this capture the essence of loneliness. I really do hope that's what comes across. I believe the biggest risk was just going for it. I'm not to confident in my drawing skills but i getting a hell of lot better.
Nothing has changed since i have received feedback. It seems to me that she like what she sees and doesn't feel like I need to change the piece nor my plan. She mentions that spacing is my strong point but I feel like its my lines that are strongest.Well so far so good, if i do say so myself. Though honestly, i was having a few problems with the legs since it kind of looked short. Also i have my boots on and my jeans rolled up, so that brought a little bit more challenge to the table.I just continued and eventually it tuned out well. So far, no change in plans.
Since we're working on perceiving negative space, i think ill make this a black and white drawing. It may help up the ante with the atmosphere. Its be an all black crowd in the background with white mouths and our center of attention person is also going to be white. He's also going to be surrounded by white mouths, as to mock him for how much he isn't doing with them.As for drawing them, I'm just going to draw the outside.
This one just came to me, though if i have to say where i got my inspiration from, its probably from a psychedelic band named tame impala. They have music with a lonely atmosphere and lyrics about being lonely. After all the album is called Lonerism. I thought about the feeling of feeling alone even in the presences of others or like how you check out Facebook only to see that all of your friends are having fun while your stuck at work or inside watching Netflix.My goal to capture that feeling or at least get the message across.
