week one

This picture looks like it was drawn using pen and pencil. The whole thing is in black, red, and gray on white paper. There is a wide variety of line movement also. The most amount of activity in the picture is mainly in the middle, although many lines run off the page. The backdrop in the drawing looks like it was drawn in pencil because it fades to gray. The middle is darker and much more detailed. And lastly, there are only three red lines in the foreground.
To me, the picture is a drawing of an aerial war zone. There is a darker figure on the left side of the picture that looks like an airplane. The airplane figure looks like it is flying into a huge explosion in the sky. The red lines around the explosion remind people of death, war, and blood. Also, the diagonal lines in the distance give an illusion of going downhill or falling. The picture might imply that the explosion was other airplanes' crashing in the sky.
I personally really like this drawing a lot. I enjoy viewing and working with pen and ink. When I had to make a choice of what image to analyze, I kept coming back to this picture. I think the red lines really pull this picture together and the contrast makes it way more interesting.
