Rachel Emig Breadth Update

I'm waiting on some of the materials from my capstone proposal, so in the meantime I've been working on [read: messing around with new techniques] some breadth pieces.

All comments welcome!

This one was intended to be a background for an idea, but I've taken a break on this one because I've run into quite a few road blocks on it. I'm just not sure how to make the composition interesting once I add the subject and the lighting hitting her.

This was one of my first times doing more realism drawing, and the idea was that it was a whole world within the chalk drawings on the sidewalk. I got carried away with the realism and am currently working on making the 'chalk' drawings actually look like chalk.




This one was more inspired by conceptual design, but oriented artistically more than anything else. I'm currently trying to figure out the colors (are they too intense on the left? should they be duller, like on the right?) and the background (I don't even know, I'm stumped) detail, so very much still a work in progress.


Also a complete work in progress, this one is going to be part of a more scenic still life piece. It's going to be placed on a grassy overlook, with unity of elements through the illustrated movement of the grass.

  1. The first piece, the one you created for a background, is too dark and I don't know what is going on. It doesn't seem complete. I really like the foot and the hand pieces. Between the two hand designs I like the one on the left because it lets you focus more on the tattoo because it is lighter. Also, the last image looks really good and I can't wait to see the finished product
