Composition In Tone And Colour


This composition is an image of a figure drawn with tone and colour. I used colouring pencils for this task. This allowed me to add texture to the image as it provides detail to the image that cannot be seen when drawn with a regular pencil. More obviously, it adds colour which creates a greater level of interest in the picture, namely making it more eye catching. I didn't add colour or great detail to the seat so that the colour on the figure would stand out a lot more. I am pleased with the depth in the picture and also the use of mixtures of colours such as greens and purples to create the darker levels of shading. I feel that the way the colour is used creates a more realistic shading than grey would. Improvement could be added to the hair in the use of more varied colours in order to fully transfer the accurate texture of the hair from reality onto the paper. Overall, however, I am greatly pleased with the success of this composition.
