This piece was also for my ap portfolio under the concentration section. I wanted to depict this man in his dark world and focused on integrating him with his surroundings. I even tried my hand at graffiti for this one! I used a picture of an athlete for the portrait, but I changed it so people wouldn't recognize him. If he looks like anyone, it's just coincidence. I love the colored in his face. I used a broad range of colors with prisma colored pencils on gray tinted paper. I created the wall and background on cardboard and added drips with acrylic paint. The stuff on the wall is no hidden message or anything. None of it really makes any sense. And yes, it reflects my view on gang activity as a negative way of living. I see him here reflecting on his life and its horrors though this piece can be seen in many lights. What do you think the mood of this piece is?

nice combination of elements to reinforce your concept. I see this as a scene of complete despair devoid of any hope; a man on a journey to his own self-destruction.
