TRIPTYCH.

A triptych, in essence, is a work done in three panels.
Much like writing an essay, you begin with your opening statement and make three points to support your theme.

Since most if my drawings and paintings prior to this figure drawing class portrayed the face/frontal view of a person, I chose to focus on a woman's back, trying to capture the equal beauty it possesses, in comparison to its front. I drew the same girl in all three drawings, during the act of undressing. I didn't want this to be an 0ver-sexual or erotic theme, rather, just the simple act itself.

All - 11 x14, colored pencil on bristol.
Approximately 10-15 hours spent on each drawing.
I suggest clicking to view in detail, especially the hair!

Now that I've just completed my drawing final, I've now got twenty-one sketchbook drawings, one major composition assignment, two acrylic paintings, a three page reflective paper, a speech to prepare/write, and a math test all due within the next 9 days.
Stay tuned as I die!
