Skelatinous Waste.

My second week in Mr. Taylor's class, we had a project in which we were challenged to view the human skeleton in an unique and original way. I both sketched and shaded this photo while laying on my stomach on an angled tabletop.

My goal, in starting this project, was to improve my sense of value between highlights and shadows, however, i feel i chose too simple of a focal point to show this sense of gradient effectively. Overall, however, I feel I did very well when viewing my final project.


Medium used: White and black charcoal
Time taken for completion: approx. 80 minutes
Problems encountered: Keeping my hands elevated so as to not smudge my white and black charcoal into one big, grey mess.
Successes: Effective highlights on ribs
