posthumous portraits:
here is my sketch for zina’s latest assignment:
the idea is to somehow do a portrait inspired by the obituaries of very interesting people. i chose frances gabe, who converted her house to clean itself. no really: it’s true
so this is just kind of a straight up portrait- something that might accompany an editorial about her life, full page across from the article. couldn’t really think of anything more engaging than that.. yeah. but i also just kind of wanted to do something very straightforward, practice doing a good likeness (i don’t think it’s quite there yet, will need another round of sketching)
hopefully i actually get to show this to the class tomorrow, i don’t feel very well right now, but i should stick it out since i effing love zina’s class.
peace.
