Week 8- Seventh Portfolio

For this week, I was assigned to create a piece of art that included blue in it. In response, and in regards to the Halloween season, I crafted this:

Blue Boo

      I created this drawing with pencil, as usual, and I made it blue with the use of markers and colored pencils. For this work, I drew inspiration from the artwork of Disney Imagineers Mark Davis and  Claude Coats for Disneyland's famed Haunted Mansion attraction. I had originally envisioned drawing a a corpse, frozen blue in a block of ice, but I soon came to the conclusion that that would be too gruesome. 
    
     What is essentially drawn here is a blue free-floating apparition dressed in his Friday (the 13th that is!) best: a ragged old sport coat and a patched bowler. He clutches a suitcase in one ectoplasmic hand, and a rusty old candelabrum in the other as he makes his way on his haunting spree.

    I think that the most noticeable detail in this artwork is that the candelabrum is colored differently than the rest of the ghost, which indicates that it is the only "corporal" object in this piece.  
 the wax dripping from the candles, and the flames billowing outward. This would indicate a sense of rapid momentum. The second most noticeable thing should be the condition of the phantom's clothes, which suggests that he was a hobo in a previous life, which should be implied also by the spirit's suitcase. The final most noticeable detail would be the wax dripping from the candles, and the flames billowing outward. This would indicate a sense of rapid momentum.
