This was a project for my Illustration Concepts 1 class, earlier this year. The assignment was to produce an abstract-expressionist piece that represented a feeling or emotion of some kind. This feeling was absolutely up to the artist, and for the most part I believe people chose anxiety. I likewise chose this feeling... Coincidence? - Anyway! I gave the piece a couple washes of ink, with streaks, and jaggedy not flowing, inked lines. I had a pretty muted colour scheme except for bright flashes of pinks and mint-ish green. I really enjoyed making this work because of the freedom, in this case, abstract pieces sometimes give.

sorry about the colour changes... the second two closeups have the flash on! The main one has closer to the actual colours.
ReplyDeletethis is amazing! i wanna say I almost like your rendition better than the original... i particularly liked your choice of adding the pink/ reddish splatters, as it gives direction in the piece that makes us focus more on specific features. Great job! Also love the darkness surrounding the whole thing, looks as though its "creeping" into the composition.
