Just a little taste...a very blurry taste

Drawing II: Two Part Fruit Study

First off I would like to appologize for the poor quality of these pictures im posting, they were all captured on a cell phone camera which doesn't do colors justice so again sorry.

These two drawings, both done in chalk pastels, were from my drawing two class of last year.

The first one, "B-A-N-A-N-A-S", was a pretty straight forward approach on the task of capturing a type of fruit on a complementary colored paper. I feel it turned out very well considering the initial approach I was headed in for this particular drawing. I focused on capturing the image in a very realistic sense so spent great time tweaking shades and textures until I was satisfied, which was an feeling that remained through completing this piece.

The second, cleverly titled, "Banana Gat," was the result of the second portion of the project, which involved human interaction with said fruit. This was a much different approach where a far different emotion is produced. A realistic sense remains in terms of shading and details, but a different stroke and texture is involved, as well as the overall comical composition. This is obbviously less serious, but still a strong piece.
