I started a new piece for my Portfolio class. I usually never do things like this, but I was not sure what else to do and I had been ,mentioning artist Hajin Bae to a classmate a few weeks ago and I got to thinking about how she pays attention to hair. She uses a lot of intricate line work to communicate hair styles- and coupled with her minimalist approach to the rest of her portraits, I think that it creates an interesting effect. I have also been recently mourning Carrie Fisher's death, as I have had a great respect for her openness about her own battles with manic depression. I wanted to experiment with her iconic Star Wars bun-do and Hajon Bae's specific portraiture. I didn't have any paint available to me at the time, so I decided to use ballpoint pen on canvas, a combination which I have never done before.Of course, the drawing got away from me as I continued to channel Hajin Bae's pop-art style and the end result was a drawing of a young girl looking down, with her ballerina bun as the focal point. I forgot to take a photograph of the drawing after showing it in class- but I went back over it with acrylic paint- initially intending to only add color to a couple of spots, but eventually covering the entire canvas. I have included shots of the current progress of the painting- which I am not very satisfied with and intend to continue to work into- as well as some screenshots of Hajon Bae's work which I had used as inspiration.
