On crises and shadow

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008 | Posted in Drawings, SteveMack by

Sorry for the lapse. I got hit by some financial and housing crises that, together, completely obliterated my ability to concentrate on anything that wasn’t directly contributing to my health and sanity. This might be a regular thing. But Felix does a good job hassling me, so we’ll see what happens. I expect to resume being a regular poster once I’ve moved into a new place. : /

Couple more movie portraits. These characters are in some heavy shadow, so I decided to see what I could convey without shading every single shade of grey in between light and shadow. Interested to know what you think. Was hard to get a lot of detail, because they are completely surrounded in darkness, so their silhouette was difficult to grasp, let alone draw.

I like the emotion in the woman and the shading on the man. I don’t know if these two sketches are related, but it almost seems like the man could be standing directly in front of the woman with some very bad news.
