Roy Lichtenstein & Damien Rice

my favoruite song and one of my favourite artists!

The most striking aspect of this series is the graphic bold colours, swiftly followed by how he composes the images. The characters are squeezed into the frames which forces the viewer to read their expressions, which are paired down and simplified. He works on the obvious and most important lines in the face and leaves out any that don’t add drama. This inevitably leaves the frown lines and patches of shading which he draws as parallel diagonal lines. He has a habit of using primary colours however if he needs to accentuate something important he will use a colour with a high chromaticity. This will make the area of colour seem more pure and prominent.
