 MASTER STUDY


MASTER COPY

  1. I think that your study successfully captures the feeling the master copy. I think, though, that your figure in the study is proportionally smaller than skeleton when you compare it to the figure in the master copy.

  2. I think your mark making is very successful in these two pieces. But to make the two images feel more connected, I would make the entire image of your master study larger. The master copy fills most of the page, whereas yours takes up less space. But overall I like the feel of these two pieces together.

  3. This piece was very unique, which I loved. I like how you used a human body and created it into a skeleton. Very successful.

  5. Overall, I believe the amount of skill that was put into each of these pieces was well worth it. They both look like they were done as part of the same series. I would suggest that you outline more of the muscular anatomy, especially in the legs and arms. Adding those extra curves and lines may accentuate more light and dark areas.

  6. I think both pieces were very successful and give off good emotion. I like the expression of the human in the master study, it is very effective and I think by showing the face of the person in the master copy, you could even better capture the style of the artist.

  7. I found this to be a very interesting subject matter. The values from both images range closely with one another and pair closely. Choosing to draw a face on your original piece probably was a difficult challenge because in the master copy, the figure appears to have a face that is mysteriously turned to the background, creating a sort of faceless figure.

  8. I thought these two went very well together as a set. The only thing I would suggest is making your study a little bigger so it fills more of the page.

  9. Julia! you did great as usual, you did a good job at representing the artist and doing your own version which captured the essence of the artist very well.

  10. Great job on both of them! I remember you saying that you didn't like using the charcoal, but it was the perfect choice. Your mark making in both mimic Clint Brown's style very well. The proportions are very believable and are consistent between the copy and the study.

    I think the study could benefit from some cropping. Because the copy takes up a lot more space on the page, it has most presence, and I think the study would be able to do the same if you cropped it down a little.

  11. Your master copy reflects upon the artist's style and mark making in a very effective manner. You did a great job of reproducing his expression and the darker mood of his work. The same carries on to your master study. It is done very well and portrays the same emotion and style the original does.

  12. I really enjoyed the artist you chose to study and the content matter alone intrigues me. I would recommend perhaps cropping your copy to enhance the over all composition. The portions seem a little off in torso of your copy, but still fantastic. Your values are great and so is your line work. I admire your work alot!

  13. My favorite part of your master study/copy is the message behind it. I believe it was about the AIDS epidemic? It really made me stop, think, and look at your art. Your values and and marking making are wonderful. Your copy looks a little out of proportion the the torso area perhaps because you used to different artists? I'm a huge fan of your artwork! Excellent work Julia!

  14. Together these pieces work as a pair. The legs in your piece are soft and fuzzy in the mark making compared to the crisp lines of the artist’s original piece. The proportions of the heads are a little off for the personality of the artist’s style. The positioning of the bodies seems to work for the matching of style of Clint Brown.

  15. Very nice master copy. Nice strong lines.
    Master Study
    Kept the same strong lines which works really well. Proportions are off especially in legs but add to the feeling of despair that comes across in the sketch.
