Light Drawing

I drew this as an assignment for a class. The  assignment was to capture light in a drawing. On the day of the critique, everyone else had drawings of objects dripping in sunshine with very little graphite used. Mine, as you can see, was of a dark room and used a lot of graphite. It was a nightmare trying to wash all of it off of my hands, face and clothes. I realized quickly that my drawing found light through shadow, instead of capturing literal light.

This was put in the Spring 2010 student art show. Graphite. 23" x 18"
