This piece represents Day and Night as two different people. I've always wanted to draw this piece ever since I heard the song "When The Day Met The Night" by Panic at the Disco. The song had pictured a strong image in my head of day and night portrayed as a women and a man. In this piece Night has just met Day and is asking her to dance. Day is shocked to see Night because she's never seen anything like him before. I chose Night to be on the Day's side and Day to be on the Night's side, because I wanted to show the strong contrast between them. This piece's strength is the color and idea. The Weakness is the man's face profile. If I could change it I would fix Night's face.
My concentration are opposites. During the end of eleventh grade I brain stormed ideas for my summer pieces. Because I love cute creatures, and dragon like animals, I decided to draw two of them together. This piece resembles two contrasting animals, the top one cute and furry, and the second scary and scaley.My strengths were the textures of the creatures, the line movement of my colored pencils made the top creature look soft and furry. Each value on the scales show the rigid coarseness of bottom creature. The weaknesses in this piece are it's center like position and blank background. If I could improve this piece I would put some hint of value in the background.
My third piece is called Zebra's opposite. I wanted to make a that was part black and white and color. Because zebras are black and white animals I decided to make them my main subject. I used the style of a playing card for the placement of my two zebras. My strengths were the values, colors, and composition. My weakness is the background which is pretty plain. If I could improve this peice I would add something to the background to give it more detail.
My last piece represents the opposite of brother and sister or female and male. I used the photo taken of me and my brother. I used graphite pencils and used the graph method. My strengths are the values. My weaknesses are the rigidness of my hair. I want to re work this peice so it looks more realistic.
