Final pointillism project

After a few weeks work, here's the final product. Medium: black ink pen. Canvas size: 11x17.

It's a project that can yield some very interesting results. In order to appreciate works like this, you kind of have to stand back a bit and let your eyes mix all the dots together to form a smooth, uniform look of the object (known as optical mixing).

Pointillism project: Final Rough concept

Final rough concept for GRA170: Pointillism piece. I made the composition more dynamic by adding more chain aimed downwards as oppose to going just straight across and I added in chain fragments from the broken chain link to increase to feeling of movement in the composition. Next step: Full size on Tabloid paper.
