This is a drawing of my classmates Hannah, and Abigail. I choose to draw this picture because there's so much going on throughout it. I'm a big fan of Degas and I love his paintings of the unposed ballerinas. That's kind of what I wanted to capture in this piece. I really love when a good composition happens on its own, because I suck at setting things up myself. This was the first time I used textured paper meant for charcoal. I was kind of thrown off at first because I couldn't layer the charcoal the same way I'm used to, but I picked up some new techniques from doing this and I'm happy about it. It really made the whites stand out, and made me more conscious of negative space. I like the way I did Hannah's hair, (the girl with the scissors), and the scarp paper in the foreground. I wish certain parts of it were more defined, but on camera everything looks pretty nice. I loved the dark teal color of the paper, and the texture was definitely interesting to work with.
