Extreme close-ups [View all]

Flower (out-of-focus) - charcoal (my first)


Jigsaw puzzle pieces (pencil/ink/ebony) - practicing cross-hatching for shadows


The point of this assignment was to create photos that are close enough that they are mostly not recognizable, but which still have shape and a range of value, and to practice using different media. These are both on 14" x 17" paper - so the puzzle pieces are magnified by about 15 times.
