10X12, Pen and Ink
I created my artwork “Best Friends”, in honor of my two cousins who are portrayed in my pen and ink drawing. I selected my original reference photo due to the emotion in each of their faces, realizing how the contrast in their expressions could make for a unique piece. The two boys shown in the image are life-long companions, yet they could not be more different in personality. I find that those differences in character come through in the photo I chose. Wishing to display the differentiation, I chose to use stippling as my technique, as it allows me to incorporate the finer details. My favorite part about the artwork is that, even in my small art piece which captures very little of these boys, one can still notice how God created them uniquely, just as he has with everyone else.
