Hello again folks! Tonight’s exploration had us trying to create a focal point, on a square image plane, using the techniques of concentration or isolation.
In the first image you can see my rather shoddy attempt at bringing attention to the center of the image by way of isolation. The flowers seem a little out of place in the “brush” if you can call it that. Hopefully it caught your attention.
Now, using the same stencil I tried to create a focal point by creating a dense cluster of flowers on one side, a concentration, to pull your vision in that direction. I payed a little more attention to neatness in this one compared to the first—spent more time on the lines and got some ink practice in. 
Here’s something I found in my parking lot I thought represented Isolation pretty well.
Here I tried another go at Isolation. My idea was that the comic book would stick out like a sore thumb among the novels. I suppose it would have worked better if Tim Dorsey’s and Neil Gaiman’s book covers weren’t so comical and Sean Murphey’s comic had been more cartoony. Oh well.
I tried to find an example of Concentration occurring naturally somewhere around my apartment, but I didn’t come across anything that really stuck out. The search was pretty interesting though!
I love all your pieces ! Even your non-school related work. I like the isolation of the flower, very creative.
Thanks a bunch! That one’s not my particular favorite, but I’m glad you found it appealing.
I just love your design for concentration! the position of every flower in the white ground and the different thicknesses in the lines makes your design unique.
I appreciate it! I was experimenting with the line weight. I’m glad you noticed!
Your photograph from the sidewalk representing isolation is great!! The two designs are a great representation as well. Good job!!
Thank you! I thought that water plate looked nice so I had to snag a quick pic
I love that your personality really shows on your blog. Also I have enjoyed your designs, although perhaps your concentration attempt could have been more creative. Although I am no expert. Great work, nonetheless.
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Im loving your ink work!! Amazing! Also love the photograph of the parking lot, beautiful.
i like the fact that you used the stems in the first one, but i think there is either too many of them or the flower is not big enough so that it can stand out more.
