Not the finished piece, but this is my friend Catie. She came into school one day and said "hey, I have this cool picture of myself and I kind of wanna draw it.... well actually I kind of want you to draw it." And, so I did. While working on it I realized that so far all my portraits had been of artists. I decided that my concentration would be of "artists of the future" or something like that. I like it because it's broad, but still has a common theme. I'm thankful for Catie, because without her I probably won't have come up with that idea. Also thankful for the reference photo because I actually really like all of the texture. And it was a lot easier drawing the face with half of it covered. I chose to do it on red paper because the blanket in the photo was red, and I really love the way it looks. I think black and white looks really great with most bright colors, but red is probably my favorite. My favorite part of the piece are her eyes because of they depth I was able to achieve. I also really liked drawing all the squiggles in the scarf, and hope to use more of those lines later on.
