This piece was made by first using tissue paper, found papers, gesso, and watercolor to create a surface to draw on. I then took a photograph of a shelf in my garage and used this to draw the still life in India ink. I really like the colors of the found papers and the background in general. I know the cans are missing something (white according to Mr. Brandt) but I'm not sure what. any suggestions??

This is my drawing done in India ink with sticks. Yes, I said sticks. I actually had fun with this project and liked the mistakes the stick left on the page. I'm not the best at figure drawing but I think with the exception of the "black halo" around the figure this turned out alright. I felt the drawing gave the emotion anger so I added orange and red to further this emotion.
