The Cat Returnsby *shirotsuki

Traditional Art / Drawings / Still Life

In the wake of my newly declared "stop and go" Hiatus, i've decided to inflict you all with.. MY SCHOOLWORK! Since I haven't had time to work on my illustratory-animeish art as of late. And you know, all the same, these were fun to do as assignments, and hey it's my gallery so why not put my art in it? Now theres a notion!

And I hate seeing this place rot ;=;. So why not!

Anyway description time for the wins. This was the first half of a two part assignment i got to do last fall actually, so it's a bit older, and it was my first time playing in charcoal. We were charged with finding a situation, and in two large-scale drawings depicting some kind of change. Before and after, different lighting, time, motion, etc.

I chose for my subject the house that stood across the street from my apartment, and, perched up on my roommates stool for several days, drew it as it appeared in the morning hours from my window. Im in love with this house! It's magnificently beautiful, so it was amazing to get the chance to work off it. As for the cat, he's a local stray that happened to be walking through the arbor on the day i was drawing the thumbnails for this project, and so he was included.

Tools: charcoal pencils, arches coverstock white (paper. beautiful, heavy, cloth-like paper.)

It kinda makes me feel like I'm a kid and I'm exploring the strange, supposedly evil old persons house. You know the kind that has bad stories floating around them, but really they are just old and lonely and would make you cookies.

I think I would love to live in a house like that. Makes me think of The Secret Garden somehow.

Great attention to detail. I like the way it's kinda blurry, it gives a dreamy feel. I know charcoal and graphite tend to have a blurry look, but maybe blurry isn't the word. Warm maybe. It's like I can feel the sunlight.
