Observations Both of my observations are showed here. I went with graphite on the human studies, and color and ink on the clothing studies. These are simple to explain, i went for a messy look on both, which is usually my style. Lots of my work consists of this messy, wrinkled line work that ties everything together in an odd way. The clothing study focuses on the jeans and the jacket mostly, showing them separate and also paired together.

    "Smoking Kills"            My rough draft is shown on the left, along with the final piece on the right. This piece portrays a man smoking a cigarette, minding his mindful business. I titled it smoking kills because smoking kills. Not trying to be some corny "stop smoking" person, I could care less what you do with your life or body. I used a contour line practice with graphite, overlaid with water color.           The principle I mainly used was line, obviously because i did a contour line piece. Before the color hit the page, it was just graphite, showing more value than it does with water color. I decided to use color to try and swing the mood to a dark happiness if that makes sense.           To be one hundred percent honest, i am disappointed in how this came out, i rushed the water colors, butchering the rest of the piece.
