Concentration 11

The Lonesome Child   

Pencil 

7" x 10.5"

For my 10th concentration, the medium I used for The Lonesome Child is pencil.  I took the picture of the statue and added a different background.  This background gives depth to the entire picture.  The diagonal wall points toward the statue, which shows the importance of the statue. The flower petals at the bottom of the page also point towards the statue.  The Pencils I used for this piece is a 2H, HB, 2B, 4B, and 6B. I also used a shading utensil, which gives a smooth look to the dark shadows.  I used the stippling method to give a worn look to the statue. I used a kneaded eraser to lift parts of the pencil to give a lighter effect. This adds to the statues worn look.  I really enjoyed drawing this picture mainly because of the detail in the statue.

The Shadowed Man   

Pencil 

6" x 8"

For my 10th concentration, the medium I used for The Shadowed Man is pencil.  The Pencils I used for this piece is a 2H, HB, 2B, 4B, and 6B. I used a shading pencil to give a smooth look to the suit.  To give a harsh aspect to the face, I used a kneaded eraser to lift parts of the pencil.  This also gives the statue, a worn look.  The darkened eyes gives a sullen and scowling expression.  For his mustache, I used a kneaded eraser again and outlined the organic shapes to give texture.  I also used this technique for the beard.  The shadows of the trees add to the erie atmosphere of the entire drawing and overall completes this drawing. I really enjoyed drawing this picture mainly because of the statues eyes.  I like the invert colors with his face in contrast with his eyes.
