Artist's Comments

This is the other half of my final project. This one had to be representational. My idea for this piece was to personify Death as a being who will never be able to love because everything he touches, dies. I wanted to capture that loneliness. This was a bitch to complete...probably like 2 weeks straight..and the freeky part is i used my sister for reference..haha she thought it was cool, my mom did not...lol

Media: charcoal
Dimensions: 30"x40"-largest i've ever worked part 2!
Date: November, 2003

wow...that's beautiful...

tip though: push the contrast (houray for computers - it'll only take 30 seconds in photoshop :) ...unlike when my teacher tells me to do that in class and I have to re-work the whole drawing :( )
