The work I have done since the beginning of this semester is based off of one of my fears. That fear is being kidnapped. Even though it's not likely to happen, it's something that sticks with me wherever I go. Im always looking at my surroundings and am cautious of everything I do. In my work, I want to portray that feeling of anxiety I get. Originally, the drawings were of me looking around in fear but then I decided to use my friend as a reference. I started off using pencil but it didn't give me that smudge effect I wanted so I tried charcoal for the first time and it definitely works better in trying to show movement. Most of my drawings are in charcoal but then I decided to try pencil again in order to get the small details. I ended up using three overlapping figures because in my earlier work it looked like multiple people instead of one person. While doing research, I came across a couple of artists that work with motion, whether it's animation, photography, or drawing. Those artists are Jeanette Mondt, Antoni Tudisco, Andy Farr, and Francis Bacon. Looking at their work helped me further develop my work using different techniques.
