3 gesture drawings

I like these three the best because they show the lines going through the figure, also there are thinker darker limes in places where there is more stress on the body. All of the figure is shown in these drawings and there are directional lines in the head showing where they are facing.

Hendrick Drescher

I like this piece because Hendrick uses different animals intertwined to create this figure. I also like the different colors and techniques of drawing he uses. I like how you can see the short staggered brush strokes that make the painting feel like it has texture. I also like how he placed the objects on the page it really creates good movement when your eyes flow on the page. 

I like this piece because the artist is using the human body and using very unrealistic proportions and weird body position. It almost reminds me of a game of twister. Also this is a very unusual and edgy price that makes you wonder what is going on but at the same time makes you uncomfortable and weirded out.

Cumulative Drawing

I used lines to show this shape is round by following the little groves in the bone with my finger to feel where the bone dips and bumps. I then drew my lines according to how the bone was shaped making them curved and and straight. Next I smudged some lines to make it have shape and show how the light was hitting the bone. I think my drawing is creative and unique because I used a lot of layers to show the bone goes back in space. Also I used a mixture of different tools including charcoal, paint, and white charcoal. I'm very proud of my modeled lines in the front of the bone and how the end of the bone disappears in the background but the shape is still visible. Also I enjoyed making the background look like it has texture. Is very happy with how this life came out.

Critique

I really like this because the visual hierarchy of the girl being up on the page suggests that the girl is back in space standing on this rock or mountain. I really like the way this piece flows and how the artist used color to make the shapes on the page instead of black and white. Also I enjoy how the artist mixed those colors to make a marble effect. The negative space is used well and really draws our attention to the girl. It's really expressive in the way the body figure is standing and positioned. Overall I really enjoyed everything about this artwork.

Building with Ellipses

I used the charcoal stick to create this drawing and smudged it with my fingers and a paper towel and added some water using a pain brush. I think that this drawing is creative and different than all the others because it has texture and you can see some brush marks. It also has a different value or darks and lights.
