Blood Pressure

Description



No, I´m not EMO ;P

I´ve drawn this a few weeks ago for my application portfolio. It´s just a study for the ´technical´ part of the folder, so there´s no great idea or story for this piece. And the blood is only there because the handstudy was too boring. I wanted an eyecatcher, so you can decide if its an accident, suicide, hospital or something else.

But it was fun to work for a change on such a big size (50 x 70 centimeter) :)

Charcoal HB, 3B and 6B
Time Around 7 hours

the style and technique are amazing, you've captured an emotive pose (the holding of strained hands) with care, the blood does indeed act as an eyecatcher, and i applaud the minimalistic use of it. it doesn't overpower the hands, and draws the eye to the sections of shading and croshatching that show off your talent. i think its an excellent use of shadow and composition, and while making people think, it is also great for showing off the "technical" or mechanics of the hands. overall, a very good entry to a portfolio, especially one for an application.

also, appologizing for not noticing the critique button and therefore double posting this.
