It's been ages, but i finally have something to post on here that i like a good amount...this was an assignment for my perspective class involving atmospheric perspective, which essentially entails the use of gradation of value and overlapping to create depth...we had to choose a final image from the prior 24 thumbnails created (aka my death) and i really liked this composition so ended up working with it...however we had to work with 6B pencil, which might possibly be the most difficult degree of graphite to work with, since it never really is smooth unless you go straight black...i think i managed to save it, but the beginning stages of this piece were a frightening thing indeed...the first image was at the very very beginning, when things still looked good and i wanted to know if the silhouette and the shading was working well, so i filled it in with my mechanical pencil, and the lines in the shading just worked so well i had to take a photo...however i have the sad feeling it just went downhill from there...the premise is that he's some sort of superhero...i mean, he needed some reason to be sit up there...
to finish off this schoolwork-filled post, here's my favourite figure drawing so far...the pose was just so nice, and we were working with curved lines, which was perfect...every once in a while things just work out so nicely, and it's amazing..."I come when I'm wanted, I run when you call, how long will you need me, to catch you when you fall? I'm tired of being a hero, and now I'm taking a rest, I want you all to leave me, I've always done my best..." - A Sad Country Ballad For A Tired Superhero, Woodpigeon
