On The Flipside Of The Stairwell

(prismacolor)
This was the smallest piece I ever created. I really liked this shot of the underside of the stairways overlapping and almost crisscrossing. I enjoyed creating this, and usually I like to add strike of vivacious color like red going through my pieces somewhere. It's a new thing I've been wanting to start. Anyway, I was really pleased with the way the colors came alive. Nobody really pays much attention to the underside of stairs, but I guess that what makes them beautiful. Now, you can see it through my eyes.

Pretty Girl

(chalk pastels)
This one my pieces from my ninth grade year back in Michigan. What I usually try to accomplish in my art pieces if it involves a person or an animal is the emphasis and intensity of the eyes. With this one, I'm not completely sure that I had done that. However, the shading is exceptionally good, and I like the way the hair fans out a little. I cheated on the nose... very elementary and simple. But in any case, the eyes must be expressive.
