Oh how I wish I had the photograph that this drawing is based on. It is from a series of photographs that Paul Fusco made in 2000 at a protest in New York city over the death of a suspect shot by the NYPD. It is full of power and outrage and sadness. Now my drawing is a pale interpretation but I have used this as a means to try and explore the use light and shade – chiaroscuro. I am happy that this a first stab at the approach but I have a huge amount to learn about control the medium. As the saying goes ‘ every journey starts with the first step…’. This is mine.
