Muslim WOman charcoal drawing
Sketches and Progress:
Finished Project and Artist Statement
For this project i was inspired by Middle Eastern culture. I decided to do an image of a woman wearing a niqab. I did a sketch with red and purple in the background and began drawing on brown paper. I didnt really like the direction that that version was going in and I didnt like the texture of the paper so I scratched that version and began another. I got a larger peice of very thick white paper and began with charcoal. After I did the charcoal the edges were very messy and had smears and handprints that I really liked so I decided not to change that and to do the eyes with colored chalk. When I finnished I sprayed it with sealer. I am very happy with this project and I really enjoyed doing it.
