Description
Sometimes I feel like my art defines me more than I define my art. This is how it feels.------------------------
My final project for Intro to Drawing. The assignment was to think of something we really cared about, something important to us, and show through a picture just how much we care about that something. So ya know, at first, I thought of the typical things like family and church and friends and stuff, but I really wanted to do something more specific to me. Then I thought, art is one of the most important things in the world to me. So after a lot of thought and sketching, always moving farther away from the blunt or direct approach, I came up with this. Being an artist means the world to me. And this is how it feels.
(watercolor, Prismacolor pencils, graphite - 18 x 24 inches - 10.5 hours) Sorry if the values look a little weird in places. I had to scan it in 8 pieces.
Major props to my roommate for being the best gravity-defying model ever. How did we do it, you ask? Magic.

Oh damn.
That drawing just feels like... like... incredibly peaceful, and warm, and, I don't know, but, it feels like "everything" to me.
Well, I can't express myself as I would like (curse my bad english /o/), but I just had to say how full it feels. If you get what I mean.
(Hum, since it's 2 years old, maybe you don't like it anymore though... but I wanted to comment for once !)

I love this.
The drawing and the idea.
It is probably one of my favorite traditional pieces on DA, and personaly, I think it deserves a DD.
Great use of pencils, graphite and watercolor! And a great pose; I can only imagine how you and your friend modeled it! haha
