Death & Destruction

Charcoal pencils on toned paper

I created this artwork from a still life that I arranged, using the object of a skull as the main focus. The skull in combination with the peice of driftwood creates a theme of death and brings an intense mood to the piece. I used a metalic metal pipe curved around the objects to create a flow throughout the peice around the skull and to the bottle in the top right corner, as the dark bottle contrasts the highlight and creates dimension in the peice. I used a variety of 2B, 4B, and 6B charcoal pencils along with a white charcoal pencil for highlight. I added layers to the drawing and blended it out to create smooth and three dimensional objects, carefully utilizing the highlights to make the dark objects pop out of the paper.

To me, creativity means expressing yourself and leaving your mark on something, and not just following the crowd and living life based off of others. In my everyday life I use my creativity as I express myself and create artwork without limits and put everything in my mind onto paper.
