USA Map project


The gradation of each state was less apparent in oils than in colored pencil, which I used in a study. Nevertheless, the varied angles of contrast create a 3D feel and sense of separation and alienation between each. I could have done without the pink outline, I suppose.  Another point of satisfaction for me is the stylization of the shape- the country is squat, smashed and every state is shortened or elongated as a result. I think it looks much nicer this way.
