"A Taking"
2015
Prismacolor pencil on black A3 paper,
297 x 420 mm, (11.7 x 16.5 in)
I was happy with this one, with the shadows on the face, her face of horror. The trees in the background were a pain in the ass, I may have spent as much time on the background as I did on the face. It's times like this I think if I had left the background blank and black it would not have made a difference. It's all that time coloring in large areas, for a cheap tree effect, and it's not easy either trying to get the pencil all the same level. Every time I do something like this I think it will take a day tops, and it ends up taking a week, a week of blues and white. Sadly right now I'm doing the same thing with a giant pink doughnut.
