This piece is titled RM. This is a portrait of one of my closest friends. She has always been there for me. I wanted to depict the love that she shows me. Grids and I have a difficult relationship to be frank. I prefer complete freehand nonetheless, it worked out in the end. My main emphasis was making sure the eyes showed compassion- that you could look at her and feel somewhat touched. The hair had flow to it and yet a definitive shape of where it fell. Making sure all the values were constant throughout the piece added to the harmony of keeping the drawing calm. I am a fan of the pink hearts that stand out so brightly on her cheeks! In this piece, I really wanted to make a mark of emphasizing that pop of color. She has always added a pop of color into my life so I saw fit that it should bring that to the canvas.
