This is the Apple Drawing by Jes Ewers. I had seen it a while back but recently realized that it is very similar to the work we are doing in class. It is done entirely in charcoal and although we really haven't drawn people, we have started tone and value of fruit. As well as drawings in outdoor settings. Moreover, our most recent assignment involves drawing fabric. Most importantly, I think Ewers does an excellent job of tonal composition, a topic we discussed in class. The piece is balanced and tonally comprehensible because you see where the high key and low key sections of the piece are. This organization gives the viewer a clear understanding of foreground and background relationship. I think composition would be boring if it were shaded any other way.
