For this project I took the opportunity to experiment with my drawing Identity to see how shape and color can effect a piece. The process became a rewarding experiene that changed my thinking of the piece as a study of color and space, rather than the imagery of the drawing itself.
The finished drawing, which I placed on colored mat board to serve as a background
I had originally planned on orienting the piece on a diagonal to make it more striking
I began to work with digital manipulation to see what effects I could get. I found the strip effect with a basic background as my best option. The only issue was that the cropping that occurred on the diagonal was too busy and distracting from the subject of the piece.
For the final image I reverted to the original landscape orientation, because the strip effect was much more successful
