Frame

Aims

To use the frame of the image to help create interesting and striking compositions, using an elephant, butterfly and myself.

Intent

I wanted to create a strongly weighted image which used the contrast of the black ink and the white paper, as well as trialling the rule of three in order to study focus points within an image.

Evaluation

I quite like the effect of this image, especially the brush work on the elephant, and I like the small amount of reduced value ink at the bottom to help ensure the images aren't just floating on the page. Overall I found this an interesting exercise, and thought the outcome was fairly successful considering the short amount of time we had to complete it.

Questions

Could I have played with scale so it was a bit more abstract?
Could flight path have been more delicate?
