Art Portfolio: Experimentation task

 In this class, we have been concentrating on creativity and how to express ourselves.

Billy Schenck, Where the Law does not Prevail, (1996)

I have been searching for the right picture, for inspiration. I made a sketch basing on this painting. 

I picked this sketch because it was the only piece with a person. I wanted to evaluate that sketch. There is a lack of movement, which is like a monument. In general, is a bit blank, some kind of rapture. I can't feel the space, is soo linear without a shadow.

So I decided that it will be a perfect occasion to give one of my sketches more expression. 

I think that this piece is bolder than the previous attempt. I started the same as with the previous one. The difference was with the organisation space and direction lines. I solved the problem with shadows, blurring the pencil lines made a feeling of depth and motion. I could diverse this by adding a darker effect. 

The good points I made with pencil gestures, maybe overall it is too much. I wanted to focus on the horse, and how to improve the moment of running. Still, it is a bit frozen. But for this task we did not have much time, only thing was ''expression''. I hope I did it. 

I could also move the background to emphasise this expression.
