We Bear Witness

Description

Well, after my portfolio review by [get this] the same teacher who was my figure drawing professor at SCAD last summer- I realized my portfolio is FAR from over. I hope to add this- and more like it- to my portfolio to show my ability to design with purpose and interact with the negative space.

AAAAAANYWAY, I really did like doing this alot- and I like the feeling behind it, even if it is rather vague even to me- but it leaves the room for interpretation I intended.

So, tell me, you like?

EDIT: Thanks to :iconwolf-midnight-dancer:'s AWESOME critique, I have officially improved on this piece by replacing the old eye with an egyption eye symbol. I kept it blue though, because the blue eye is significant to my vision for this piece.

Great work, the only things I can truly think of to help this piece is that I say be a bit more careful with the grunge, it kind of consumes the picture and is borderline distracting to the piece. Also the forms are good for general understanding but it took me a couple minutes to get the meaning because it was kind of hard to interpret the little boy as African American upon first glance, perhaps you could find a way to make it just a bit more apparent. One more thing, (Not to sound as though I have any room to talk you and I both know my stuff isn't very good, I'm basing this off just pure opinion from seeing professional works.) the eye seems a bit out of place, it seems too complicated and I think it needs to be a tad bit more simple to fit the piece something like an Egyptian eye instead, perhaps? Anyway really cool piece, I love the symbolism, and besides these few things it's really a great piece!
