For my fourth concentration piece I decided to take a step away from the actual workplace and look at the brutal consequences of today's tough economy. The result is a man out of house and home begging for enough to just survive.I really tried to improve my drawing skills in this one. I tried to really catch the mood of the hard times by the expression on his face and his worn appearance. I worked on emphasizing the values which is something I had struggled on in past compositions. I think this time I really managed to make the objects in this work pop.
Lastly I tried to make the piece more interesting by using cardboard for the mans sign. I then drew a can over it, I thought this was a very interesting concept that I hope to evolve on in future compositions.
