mapping silence and tracing shadows

For this assignment I had to do a photographic study of an interior space in my new home away from home aka the Gatewood Building. I really liked this picture because of the strong shadows that the model had and the bold shadow casted on the divider wall.

In the process of creating this drawing I learned that blending stumps are evil because they blend graphite pencil to a blinding sheen that is very difficult to erase. Tissue paper definitely was a big help because it let me build up the layers of graphite which ultimately led to the success of this project.
