Description
Jamaica Mon by Debi Starr is a graphite drawing of a native of Jamaica. This portrait shows a man undergoing hard times. The dark tones evoke a sense of despair and the raw quality reflects the emotions. The cool thing about this drawing is that it was done in reverse. The paper was coated with graphite powder first and the drawing was actually done with an electric eraser and kneaded erasers. This effect is a great way to focus on the positive and negative shapes in the composition. The lost edges invite the viewer in and introduce them to the character.
