sterling was probably right. i dont have any complaints. i think it is a very fine piece. that cello looks hard. about his lack of eyes is there any particular reason for that? not saying i dont like it but just wondering.good job.
Hey cat! It looks great! The cello woodgrain texture and everything look great. All of the shapes fit together beautifully!
Sorry I haven't written on the blog in a while....I was over half-finished with my portrait than I screwed it up and had to start all over. :( So I'm stressing about finishing it now.
thanks for the kind words :)
He doesn't have eyes cause when I drew them in there it took away from the mood somehow... I wasn't tryingn to be totally realistic and I liked the way it looked without them. But it has no conceptual meaning. Maybe I could make something up. I could say my dad's blind and he FEELS the cello while he plays it.
and sarah, on one hand I want to say "don't stress," but on the other hand, I'm glad that having assignments and a deadline is encouraging you to work! And I'm writing this after you already posted your near-finished piece which is amazing. I had to start the cello piece over from scratch - it's annoying but so worth it sometimes!
I LOVE this cello, Cat! That wood grain is beautiful, and the highlights strike me as perfect! I love the juxtaposition between a beautifully rendered cello and the more abstract person. I love the fact that the shape created between the arm and the background mirror the shape of the top of the cello. It just really draws me in. Great job!
