Assignment 5 - Looking Closer

Taking a ''closer look'' was drawn on buff paper using coloured pencils.

I was forced to simplify what I saw in my previous drawing (tonal drawing) even more than I did when I did that drawing.  I seem to want to put every detail in which is not always necessary.  The more I look at other artist's work the more I see that a simplistic method of drawing is just as effective as trying to draw every detail.  This exercise has been instrumental in forcing me to simplify my drawing methods.  When I completed the drawing I really enjoyed using the pencils to build up different layers of the colour in different areas.
