Charcoal Still Life

This artwork was created by rubbing a thick layer of choarcoal on a piece of white paper and using eraser to create a negative image. Using the eraser, I reflected upon the shadows cast by the light. Using expressive line quality and curve, I was able to create a sense of 3-dimensionality in the object. I used the areas where each object met and using comparisons, each object is proportional to one another.
