The more I focus on a part of the drawing the more it tries to evade my focus, other parts try to interfere and everything starts to spin. And then it comes back to standstill and I can almost hear the anchoring rumble it makes. Creating depth usually is metaphorical, here it is literal as well. You achieved that on a first try so congratulations on that, contours and shadows blend and stand out from each other multiplying that resonating feel one gets looking at such works.Lack of colours makes the body pale as death while it makes the environment alive in a way no colour could, the feeling of suspension, complexity, dread and release so very well caught on the face are reflections of the real nature of the form that is present just beyond reach.
