Week 5: Progress

For progress this week, I revisited the sketch "Staring Down A Future." My goal was to combine Illustrator and charcoal together to see what the result would be. The idea was to make the picture more powerful and also maintain of the grit that charcoal has. So I kept the pattern of the charcoal in the background and added a filter to soften it. I like how the tears came out in the subject because the whole point was to convey the sense of distress a situation like this would bring. This occurrence happen in my community more times that I can count.  So how would one react if they had to face a situation on a daily?
