3rd or 4th?
At a bit of a cross road here. I want to try and work on both my artworks at the same time but I've been told perhaps I should focus on one? Miss suggested I do this and focus on the fourth one. It makes sense considering I want to try and be expressive with my fourth one.
Time Constraints
Due to my BOW being due for school assessment marking, I had to speed up the work I did and so I decided to leave "artwork no. 2" and return to it for later touching up.
Now I had to look at a vision of my BOW, that was set in stone, so the question remained... What was going to be my fourth and final artwork? I've previously mentioned the idea I had had for that, but now with the time constraint and the uncertainty surrounding that idea, I needed something else. Upon brainstorming with miss, we found the answer, and it lay within "artwork no.2"- The face. We decided to crop the face and then draw it on the same size page as "artwork no.1" but, obviously it is enlarged because of the cropping.
Now all that was left to do (having drawn up my "artwork no. 3" and "artwork no. 4") was fill and colour it in!

Almost there for no.2!!! YEWW :)
The dark tone of the artwork is starting to really emanate from the charcoal; the scale of the artwork complements this. However, work on the right side of the face is still needed to achieve the correct proportion within the face.
Becoming more expressive...
It is important that the blending in this larger one is not overworked but at the same time smooth so as to really get that shape in my artwork. Below I am beginning to work that style of toning on my chest and face. Still not quite there yet.
Toning and Filling
Here I'm starting to tone up the face adding some depth as well as continuing filling in the white areas.

Starting the next one xD
Ok so my next piece is well under way and I'm lovin` it!
I really prefer the larger scale in this one, kinda odd considering I was so skeptical after doing my first one, but it's just so much easier to work with and to demonstrate what I can really do! Also I'm starting to get gritty with the charcoal, some advice Miss gave me, cause I completely agree about my other one, there was just that charcoal quality missing in some areas but hopefully I will revisit that and give it a few more touch ups.
Anyway so here's the first installment of my progress for my new piece.
