I've decided to focus on one piece this week in order to get a sense of the unifying themes I want to are across my five drawings. After some though over my sketches the past few weeks, I want to continue focusing on touch and messaging in my drawings. As of now, I decided to name the set "PSA" (public service announcement) to represent all the health and safety announcement's we've received throughout the pandemic this past month. Each drawing will link a PSA to actions we would have normally taken before COVID-19 to show how it has changed our behaviors.
I think the sketch above is a "trial piece", but I'm not entirely sure and need an opinion on filling the space above. Should I just upscale the sketch, fill in the space with a charcoal gradient, or add something else above? I've also added a cropped picture before that focuses more on the drawing. Otherwise, I like the sketch, because it focuses on touch and faces while subtly dropping a message we have received about avoiding contact with ourselves. I also added the charcoal gradient, because I feel like this has been a time of "darkness" and confusion in a sense (especially with mixed messaging), but we are bound to emerge into the light as we receive more clarity and go through this experience.
Hi Mo,
ReplyDeleteI'd continue with the charcoal above. The darkness will help amplify the weight of the current situation. Look forward to seeing the whole set!
