May Sketch

I had wanted to do this piece for a while and figured I could do it under the May topic, it works. It's about ED or erectile dysfunction, using the ties metaphorically as each man's penis. It's more or less a visual pattern piece, I'm going to try a different color combination than my usual for this one, hoping it works out. It'll be a limited color palette since there's so many people in this piece. Let me know if you have any thoughts, already started sculpting the faces.

  1. Looks great Kira. I love the expression on the guy in blue's face. Will the rest of them be black and white?

    I like the play on tie lengths, it's very subtle... maybe a little more exaggeration/variation in the other guys ties, maybe changing the width of some of them.

  2. I wanted to the colors very subtle, mostly greys with random elements of color on some of the guys. Colors like that aqua, pale yellow, orange and variations of greys/blacks. Even their skin tone. I want to make it kind of like a black and white photo without doing it on photoshop.

  3. The guy on the left. third row up looks like Abe Lincoln!

    My only critique is I don't think the odd guy out should stand out too much in gesture and he disrupts the nice pattern of bodies. It's too obvious that he's the odd one, I like that you're keeping the piece subtle. Shift the guys on the left over, so you're not trying to squeeze him in.

    I know it's just a sketch, but keep that pattern consistent! And I'm enjoying all the characters' faces.

  6. ^ lol...I pretty much repeated what Chelsea wrote; the guy on the left does look like Abe Lincoln.

    Great sketch! I like the colour palette you've chosen...looking forward to the final piece.
