Chapter 9:
Nothing is more painful to the human mind than, after the feelings have been worked up by a quick succession of events, the dead calmness of inaction and certainty which follows and deprives the soul both of hope and fear. (Mary Shelley, Frankenstein. 1818)
The assignment required we used only dry medium. I was looking to great a foggy ambiance, as if all the neighbour and figures watching the main character were undefined, and all similar. They could all phase into one. Plus the mist, or the fog is omnipresent and can sneak in everywhere.
I tried using markers but the result was too sharp for what I wanted to make. I wasn’t able to blend them the way I wanted.
Colour pencil were more appropriate for the project. I was able to create more subtle nuances, and the result fitted with my expectation.
