Here. Love, Ievgeniia Drawing

This drawing is a soft pastel drawing on pastel paper. What inspired me was an autobiographical reflection on what I love and my location that I am now. The main attention is on a slice of a melon, which is a fruit that I love, also with elements of collage to help convey a story of other additional elements. I added collage with reprinted written elements of a Ukrainian newspaper regarding COVID-19 on a watercolor paper to convey a state of mind in Kyiv capital of Ukraine and give a sense of location where I was at that moment. Here, I was engaged by expressing a sense of location through collage as well as creating different color tones with a limited color palette of pastes in a drawing. It is called so, since I imagined this point ( location) to be the beginning of a journey, also emphasizing an importance of this location. Here, I used pointy as well as wide sides of pastels to create a drawing. I used hatching to create texture to the watermelon. With its length of each stroke, it is possible to observe perspective clearer. With side strokes it is easier to see where a focus goes, which is in the center. Broken color generates additional color combinations to create more color shades. Pointillism creates an extra detail on the spots that need most focus. Finally, twists emphasize more dynamics in an unfocused side of a drawing. I hope you enjoy. ❤️
