RiRi

I created this project because Rihanna is my idol and i wanted to draw her since I idolize her so much. My overall vision for the work was to draw a picture of Rihanna with details as in depth as in the picture without the color. I wanted to bring out the beauty through value and lines which was used to represent her facial structure and contour.I think that my art communicates that Rihanna is beautiful and her beauty can be represented in many ways.I think i achieved personal happiness in getting to represent my idol in the way that i want her to be represented. My current work relates to my past work because usually when i create an art project it relates to things that affect my life or things that have been inspiring in my life.

I would say my work fit in with Post-war American War . I think i could relate my artwork to Irving Penn in 1917-2009.I first started my art piece by creating many sketches of what I wanted to draw. Once I got the idea of how I wanted to draw I then got my drawing utensils and started my work. I started first by drawing her outline features. Then, I started on her features. Once I got her features down packed I finished by outline of her facial structure. The image that I was trying to describe was a picture of RiRi with a short cut, holding her middle fingers up to the paparazzi . My work reflects the world I live in because people have this i don't care type of attitude and I can say that for myself as well because I have become a person that doesn’t care about a lot of things.The technique that I think was most important was vaulie because it really brought out the features of the drawing. A new technique I used was smudging .
