Today I am posting twice to make up for my delinquent behavior. My art teacher James Werline, showed me what a difference it makes if you pay attention to negative space. Here I got so focused on the cute face I forgot about the space surrounding it.
My teacher pointed out that if he picked up the drawing, the lines could almost float away.
The photo had a very black background and the child has very black
hair. So I thought, yes, she needs to be grounded. I went back with charcoal and added
the darkness the negative space needed, enhancing the face as the main focus. Great direction is
so important to progress. See ya next week!
