Description

57 hours of my life. Here. Gone.

This was a midterm project for one of my classes this past semester. Basically we found an interesting photo with good composition and lighting, blacked out a huge sheet of drawing paper with charcoal, and then, using various erasers, did THIS. My hands were not clean for a week after this was done. DIRTY CHILDREN HANDS.

I don't want to say anything bad about this but... never again. I hope. This project took my soul, threw it on the floor, stomped on it, spat on it, and left it to rot. Delirium was rampant.

Got an A at least lol.

This project would have been even more hellish if I didn't have these people suffering along with me in the art building at ungodly hours in the morning: :iconchikinnugets::iconsilverava::iconjokerkilljoy::iconryuuji: ilu gais uguu

Original photo here: [link] [though not the original site... I think I got the original file off of Flickr?]

PS- sorry for the grainy-ness of the photo. My camera decides on its own when it wants to be terrible.

With all that negativity in your description I would of never known, you put out such a beautiful piece that my whole family keep using it in conversations as the best piece of art they have seen.
