Freedom 3 and Amy © Thirteentoo 2004

Medium: Charcoal

Artist's Statement: Freedom 3 - "i did this sketch after the sept 11 attacks."
Amy - "this drawing is of my one true love. she is as beautiful as the sun. and as dark as charcoal"
Guide Comment: 'Freedom 3' is a powerful drawing - the sense of vertical perspective works well. I feel you've moved between line drawing and value drawing in places (such as the outlined arm) which detracts from the strength of the image. Try to avoid 'aimless' shading - energetic marks can add life and energy.

'Amy', your figure drawing, looks to be quite well observed, though she seems somewhat sandwiched between those to areas of black - make sure that your background and foreground make sense to the viewer, and if drawn in, are as thoughtfully modeled as the rest of the drawing.
