When I was given the details of this project I was overjoyed to finally have an opportunity to do some photorealistic type of work. I was trained as a photorealistic artist. Its definitely my strength > I was excited to learn a new method in stretching myself.
Our challenge was to work backwards. Starting with a completed detailed photo realistic piece and working backwards redrawing the picture with less deal.
The final drawing involved making a visual statement that focused on the darkest parts of the picture. It reminded me of silkscreening, another art form that I intend on investigating.
