another one of those assignments with only one word to tell you what to draw (white/transparent) ENTIRELY too vague in my humble opinion… At least it’s over… /tragic sigh
Being rebellious and trying to go against the actual meaning of the project in all its white-ness I wanted to try and push something that was completely the opposite and juxtapose the image, so I chose one very black symbol; the cat from Steinlen's Chat Noir poster. Seen here:
[link] , of course, and represented as being "alive" in my piece (I tried.. not successfully, but I tried)
On a side note, in my original sketches she was eating and egg instead of holding a cat and my teacher thought it was too "playboy" so I wanted to sort of secretively keep that edge by adding "le chat noir" since it
was a poster for a cabaret ;D
I'm that guy on tumblr that's always going on about sources and credit, too xD
the colour scheme is so striking!
Is that Le Chat Noir?
