This piece stood out to me because of the way it is draw and the muted colours. I really like how detailed the drawing is and I feel that the browns and greys used aren’t over powering and let the subject speak. For my own final piece I plan to keep the colours simple, black ink on white paper, because I want people to pay attention to the subect in order to convey my message.
