February Critique

My concentration is revolving around the human form and figure. I went with this idea, because i find the human race fasinating to create in the form of art and i wanted to have fun doing so. The work I've done for this round, i find, is much more different than my previous pieces. One of them is of a guy with his head is exploding. when i was working on this piece i felt a bit frustrated and tired of my concentration and i honestly felt that my creativity was trapped and i coundn't get the juices flowing. So i expressed that in my sketchbook with some chalk and oil pastels. the result was satisfinying that i felt like using it as piece for my set, but i wanted to enlarge it. so i did. Da other piece i worked on was of an arm moving through the different layers of the body (skin...muscle...bone). I feel like if i'm doing the human form/figure, i should incorporate the layers of the body into one of my pieces, i decided to do an arm because of all of the crossings in the muscles and bones, plus i had a canvas that i needed to use. when i was origanlly planing this out, i wanted to have some ink running down the side of the arm in the direction towards the fingers, but after i got to a spot where i was liking it, i wasn't so sure if i should go on. I let you, the critic, give your opinon on that. Also if i gave my self more time to work on this one, i think it would of looked kool if it was made with encaustics (just the arm). If yoiu read this, thank you.
i don't know what to call this

The first piece reminds me out of something from a science book because of the different layers of the human body, which is really cool. On the second one, the use of line really adds to the impact of the piece. I'm really excited that you're using more color and becoming more abstract!! yayy. Your concentration is going in the right direction because you are branching out with different mediums and styles.

damn son! very nice. Your work has grown so much. its lookin hot. Brainville has very nice COLOR and MOVEMENT! The one on top has amazing BALANCE and EMPHASIS. I feel as if you should add more defined sections into your work, and it will make the expressive parts pop more. the expressive parts are incredible though. keep up the HOT work. peace out homie. yo yo yo
