Description
this is something i did for my humanities class. we had an assignment to do a visual representation of what we think our thought process is like in our sketchbooks, and this is what i came up with.i'm really pleased with it. i love the burst of color i get when i open up my sketchbook.
i did this a few weeks ago, but i've been too lazy to scan it. it's in a hardcover sketchbook and it's difficult to get it into the scanner. and as you can see, there's a slight blur on the edge... and also the colors are a bit off because my scanner isn't too great with colors. but when i can i'll get a better scan.
aaanyway, the girl is supposed to look a little like me (cept she's much prettier of course) and stuff.
used: prismacolor pencils and mechanical pencil.

I like it, it has gorgeous bright colors which are simply contagious, and the contrast is very clear and still, it works perfectly as a whole. Good job, keep doing whatever you do.

Oh my gawd, prismacolor works so well, I shall never look at a different brand of art supply the same way again.
This is so coloury and pritty and you can't even notice the blur.

Hummmm... I am applying for college and was told to critique an image for an entrance essay. I thought that you should know that I chose this peice XD And that you also deserve to see what I wrote:
Critique
Analyzing a piece of art is always interesting for me, because itβs like Iβm trying to get into somebody elseβs thought process. I chose to analyze a drawing that I came across on DeviantArt.com, a website that many artists my age display art on. This person calls herself Mutsy, and drew the piece for an assignment; which was to draw what they thought their thought process looked like.
In the lower left-hand corner of the page you can find a representation of Mutsy herself, with beautiful details like the curves in her ear and individual curls of hair. Starting from the figure her hair expands throughout the picture, turning from sienna to almost every other color. About a third up the page her hair changes into thick areas of bright colors or shapes. The hair stretches all the way across the page to the upper right corner, where the shapes and colors become the most edgy and vibrant, finally curling into a circle. Meanwhile the lower right and upper left-hand corners of the page are softer colored and are made up of thin curling lines rather than large shapes. Finally, the image was colored with prisma color colored pencils, and Mutsy has chosen to show viewers her mark making abilities by cross-hatching to give the figure form and provide a gradient for the background.
Considering that this image was supposed to show us Mutsyβs thought process, Iβd say Mutsy got the point across rather nicely. Her eyes are closed; giving me the impression that she is thinking and the figure isnβt in the center of the picture. Not to mention the whole hair turning into dreams is pretty much a clichΓ© for images about the mind. The cross hatching along the edges of the page helps push the eyes up towards her psychedelic hair, which emphasizes that the image is not about the figure, but what her hair represents. Lastly, the artist did not leave the upper left and lower right-hand corners empty. All of these are what I considered to be this pictureβs strengths.
However, as in most pieces of work, parts of the image can be improved. For example, most of the lines in the image are sketchy, which draws away from the shapes in her hair. They could have been more defined and thus made a larger impact. Also, my eyes cannot truly choose a center of interest. Logic leads me to believe that the figure is always the center, but the bright colors of the βhairβ draw my eyes away, and them curling into a circle stops my eyes there. So, I think it would have been better if Mutsy had more clearly defined the center of interest.
As I said, critiquing is always interesting for me. In fact, my only beef is when somebody takes my advice personally, because a critique is meant to help the artists improve themselves. And that bothers me because I always want to improve.
