"Azured Memory"

My second drawing for the group show in Tokyo. I had several different source images for this drawing. I tried many configurations of the placement of the model, her facial expression, paper plane, fabric and cropping. I ended up with this very cropped down version. I think this works. I might try a different version of this idea later on.

This was also my second attempt to mix regular and matt graphite pencils in a single piece (after "Spring"). The figure was rendered with matt pencils and the fabric with regular pencils. Since the fabric did not require heavy application of graphite, the whole background stayed not shiny at all, making the transition from the figure to the background more seamless. It worked extremely well.
