Secret Life of Objects


charcoal pencil on hot pressed watercolour paper. 18" x 24"
2008


One of the first projects I did in OCAD.  The objective was to tell a story about objects on your desk.  Back then, those ink bottles were new additions to my collection and I decided to illustrate them moving into their new "home". (They looked like little people to me with those hat-looking tops... shhhh don't ask me how...)


We were asked to experiment with interesting compositions and various drawing techniques.  The composition wasn't as successful as I hoped, it was too solid and boring for the story.  However, the contrasting style of crosshatching, line work and shading turned out quite nice.
