Fragmented Portrait Study
Study: Form and composition
Medium: Graphite pencils
Faber Castell Polychromos
2022
About This Work
This drawing explores form and composition by partially obscuring the face with hands and torn paper edges. I used pencil to create soft tonal shading, contrasting with bold colour on the nails to guide the viewer’s eye. The piece plays with negative space and framing, reflecting my interest in editorial and graphic composition.

Close-up shadow and tonal study, and early sketching process.
Relevance to my work
This piece reflects my interest in combining observational drawing with graphic composition. The use of framing, negative space, and selective colour demonstrates a design-led approach that translates directly into motion work, particularly in how visuals can be revealed, layered, and guided through a sequence.
