Creativity – drawing

This time I focused on drawing human faces. Again using my favourite techniques, coal and pencil, I created this image of a woman. I wanted it to be without colours, except few elements that I wanted to distinguish. One of them, red lips, are singled out, because I wanted people to notice them. It also makes the impression that she is wearing makeup or has only made her lips. Also red is one of the intensive warm colours and is often marked, even in black and white pictures. Apart from lips I also singled out eyes. Eyes are one of the elements you notice instantly. I wanted the viewer to look the woman into eyes. In contrast to warm coloured lips, eyes I coloured blue. Blue is calmer and cooler than red, so it balances the drawing. I also marked her heart necklace with gold. This one I just wanted to look like jewellery and something that completes her.
