I think the line drawing of this works better because of its positive/negative space ambiguity. This version pins that down and disrupts the visual play. It might still work by defining what rectangle she’s in (like we talked about) but the line between the hand and the face needs to be stronger as well.

Suggested cropping and presentation:

The pleasure in these isn’t the still life or the space its in, its the texture and inventiveness of your hatching. I suggest cropping these so as to zoom in and indulge what they’re best at. A painter who comes to mind this way is Emily Eveleth, who’s famous for her close ups of donuts:

Through The Looking Glass–Week 5

So, emm, think this is the final week. Anyways, I returned to the same objects that I portrayed from my first week–flowers and glass. Summer is slowly appearing in Maine for now, and thanks for the suggestion from Mark about O’Keeffe, I decided to portray a wide range of colors in this drawing. The drawing was done with water color, colored pencils, and white pastel. While the middle of the drawing has a clear reflection, the edges of the drawing are portrayed with meshed together color. Enjoy!
