Louis Merante high contrasts practice by DeviantLivehorses

"Who's that?" asked my Mom when she saw it. And my sister and I both said at the same time "You don't recognize him? It's Louis Mérante!" we almost continued like "Ballet master, the world's most famous choreographer..." A few hours later my Dad came in and said: "Miguel Miramón?" and I was like: "Noooooo!!" Despite the fact that I've been trying to accomplish my Lent goal to be less time on the Internet, I make an exception because I wanted to share with you my last homework from my drawing class. We've been working with ink lately and the last thing the teacher asked to do was high contrasts of black and white. In a beginning I wanted to draw Audrey Hepburn, but I blame the Internet of my school by forcing me into changing the project, because it doesn't work currently and I couldn't use it to look for references. The only thing I had left were the images saved on my phone and I needed one that could favor the high contrasts. This was the one that worked. Later my teacher told me that looking at the small screen of my phone wouldn't help me and that I should've made an impression of it, and since there's an impression store near I decided to go there and get the image and I was like "Duuuh, you could've made the same with the Hepburn image" But I had just started drawing and it was too late. I'm not sorry for drawing my favorite ballet dancer. 😊 I think this is one of the few works I feel satisfied with. Ink over paper bond, finished at February 27 of 2020.
