COLORED PENCILS: Dice and Balls

Benjamin Farren

Colin Metcalfe

Last night the class began working with colored pencils. The drawings were initiated by drawing all the white areas first and then adding color. Ben's drawing (top) illustrates a stage-like setting. There is a sense of expectation and suspense as if something unexpected is about to happen. Colin's drawing (bottom) is a very dynamic and energized rendering of the still life with radiating and swirling marks complemented by a bold complementary color scheme.
