Description your soul. (bulletproof, goo goo dolls)

found this old, unfinished drawing in my sketchpad (just the head and torso). i was practicing with a reference pic from time magazine, except i've lost the picture, so everything else is freehand

the image is of a young teen shooting up inside a dirty backroom of sorts. i think the article was about drug use in some countries.

now why did i photograph this drawing this way?(lol) well i splattered some ink on it and accidentally closed the sketchbook before it dried completely, so when i opened the book again the pages were semi-stuck together this way, which i absolutely love (and is ominous). i think it kinda adds to the whole theme. haha.

will probably keep this photo, instead of scanning it. haha

(edit) this is the new version. this one was taken at a different angle, with more focus on the actual drawing than the previous page stuck to it. +.+

My eyes have literally jumped out of
my head and i now have to put them back in. thanks.
This is absolute genius.
this would make a wicked stencil!
it wouldn't look as amazing as this...
but i can imagin it on a grungy laneway wall
amongst peeling posters, messy tags and other
rad stencils.

oh and great name

You must! AND I SHALL SEE TO IT!

But you may not pass the criteria, because the piece is supposed to be made for the contest itself.

I'm having a very good guess you used the flash here for this photo...

Anywayz, I find this much more attractive to the previous because of the non-centered layout

gogenevieveart In reply to josephacheng [2008-08-06 13:42:22 +0000 UTC]

yeah haha halata naman ata. although i intentionally whitened the right side and left the left side darker.

yeah, i do like the more interesting effect of this offcenteredness. hahaha

josephacheng In reply to gogenevieveart [2008-08-06 14:14:33 +0000 UTC]

Actually I was afraid that the brightness on the right was more PS lighting effect than flash.
It was the 1/40 shutter speed that strongly suggested to me there was flash.
