Up Close and Personal

Up Close and Personal was the theme for this project. I started by thinking of the first few words that came to mind when I thought of that and then used the same process for those words until I had about twenty. There's no extremely strong emphasis in this picture, instead I chose to emphasize the couple by opting not to do a complete background. I instead grounded them with a black shadow and, to indicate sky, did some light blue crosshatching behind them. I didn't really take any risk with the projects as compared to the previous or the next one, but I do believe I had a good concept and executed it well through technique and my chosen medium.

What's the Point?

Final piece for the prompt "What's the Point?"
The piece ended up being an archery scene in pen and ink. I decided to use pen because I've never done an actual piece in that medium. I used all, but one of the learned techniques and most of them were new to me. Contrast is shown mainly in the sky and putting darker objects by lighter one such as the trees (light) and the space behind them (dark).
