Herrick Drescher Drawings

In these two drawings, I liked the way he used line width to express sort of an atmosphere of adventure. These tow in particular have a a very nostalgic feel to them, and seem like something that a child would imagine but a skilled artist has brought to life. They're simple, but atmospheri at the same time.

Mass Gesture and Modeled Line Drawings

I tried to use line in these drawings to show what is close and what is far away. In the mass gesture, the lines are sharper and more defined to show closeness, while the lines far away are blurry. In the modeled line drawings, the almost geometry-like lines show that the objects are round. And where they would be in perspective. I wanted to make these drawing unique by going super intensely on the darks and trying to be a realistic to what I was seeing as I possibly could.

Cumulative Drawing

I used lines in this piece in order to tell a story, and to achieve that right perspective of the list ion of the toy soldier. I also wanted to hopefully use line and form in order to tell a story, especially with the negative space.

Visual Hierarchy Drawing

These both are my favorite because they display a classy and old school vibe and are still subtle at the same time. The first one especially tells a story with very little, and poses various questions such as is the figure a vigilante? Is he a hero or villain? This is all gotten across with very little, due to the shape and composition. The second also tells a story in this fashion, and is a reference to a very old French black and white film. It also puts across the story of the man in the moon and how it relates to our planet. These pieces also uses visual hierarchy in the way that I can tell the the street lamp is behind the watchmen, and that the moon is far away from the earth and not nessecarily on the same level. 

5 Ellipses Drawings

With these drawings, I tried to go for mostly a high contrast and realistic look. In the one with the vase, I also tried to use the eraser tool to give the appearance of texture and highlights on the gloss. In the clarinet piece, I tried to make it as detailed as I could with a charcoal pencil, and tried to give it the distinct appearance of being shiny. With the clarinet, I also used the eraser to make marks around the edge to give the piece a bit of character, and to do something creative with the eraser tool.
