hand and face


This is a hand and face study. We are suppose to draw hand and face with expression. This assignment was really fun. I really enjoy the process of doing it. I choose a angry expression. Although I am good at drawing human face it is still a bit challenging because this time we have to add proper emotions in it. I think this is very difficult because I think that drawing expression is not only about drawing techniques. Instead, I have to feel emotion of that character. Otherwise, I won't be able to show anger through my painting honestly.

There are two things I really like in my work: color and form. Sense I am good at using color, I never have a hard time of choosing color. The hard part at this time is chose colors that can emphasis the emotion of the character. I use purple (cold color) as back ground and orange (warm color) as the basic tone of my character. I believe this create a sense of contrast -- cold and warm, purple vs orange (spilt--complimentary color). The second thing I like about this painting is form, especially the face.

Things I don't quiet like about this painting are: composition, and details in hand. I wish there could be some connect with the hand and face. If I somehow draw the arm and upper torso, it might be more of a painting rather than a "practice drawing". I also don't like how I did with the hand. As Zub (my instructor) says, it need more detail, especailly the finger nails. I may also add the finger muscle to strengthen the tension in that hand. Right now, it looks too soft to become an "angry hand".

Anyways, I learned a lot through this project. My ability of analysing forms has been improved. I also find out my weakness.Wish I could become a better painter in the future.
