Description

A still-life done for Drawing I. The assignment here was to do a still life with something more interesting than the usual still-life, using the subtractive method. Subtractive pieces are EXTREMELY fun; if you've never tried one before, you should. It entails covering the entire paper in charcoal, smearing the charcoal out to make it uniform, and then pulling out highlights with the eraser. Then the darkest shadows are added back in with more charcoal

Yes, there is NO white charcoal in this piece. :3

For "interestingness" I used my favourite plushie, Foxy Guy (wearing his trusty dog tag), and borrowed a rubber ducky from my friend Ashley.

The professor's comment:
"Very good! I like the threatening feeling of the looming bear contrasted well with the innocent feel of the little duck!"

...

He's not a bear!!
-rendered with compressed charcoal, a tortillion, and a lot of erasers.

You made Foxy Guy look like I could touch him and he would be Velour. That is so hard to do. Impressive.
