I'll work on this piece over the long weekend so it'll be ready for the critique. The hair is by far the most difficult part because I'd like to show the texture and some strands, but drawing dark objects is difficult in ink. and there's so much of it :(!

ReactionMost of the work Yuko Shimizu does is very colorful, which is effective for the commissions she does for clients such as DC, but I chose a couple of her personal pieces to focus on. I appreciate how she thought of these works in terms of the entire series, especially for Beginning 101 because they were displayed as one piece. One of the goals Mr. Carter and I set at the last critique was to continue working in series, and my current in-class project is a pair of drawings which are intended to be displayed together. I think what I could learn from Shimizu is organization composition for individual pieces so that they can be harmoniously displayed together but still be a solid individual work if needed. I admire her use of space and how she doesn't draw in the entire space but fills it.
I'm back to ink! I'm deciding to go more in the direction of where my Scholastics portfolio was headed. This will be one piece in a two-part series. The other half will be of a plant I have whose vines drape down a shelf. Once I finish both, it'll be a pair of vine-like pieces depicting growth.
