-- Posted by ElephantStone at 11:31 am on June 8, 2008 For my next painting Ive decided to do one showing a figure. The painting is more about the essence of the moment than what is happening. It depiects a boxer, holding the punchbag tenderly, obviously there is somethign happening elsewhere in his life, and the punchbag is supposed to be someone. It will be acrylic paints on A1 paper Ive draw 2 very basic compositions and im inclined to go with the first one, but which one do you think is better at achieving emotions? Sorry for them being on the wrong side, adn I think the bag might be a little low. -- Posted by Praise the Lard at 11:32 am on June 8, 2008 the second one by far -- Posted by Lulu Nobody at 11:33 am on June 8, 2008 The first one. -- Posted by Shmakka at 11:33 am on June 8, 2008 First. -- Posted by Riot at 11:34 am on June 8, 2008 Second. -- Posted by freak15 at 11:34 am on June 8, 2008 1st 1 lol x -- Posted by x Jess x at 11:36 am on June 8, 2008 the second one. i really like your ideas, is it like the boxer has a love/hate relationship with someone and takes out his emotions on the punch bag? or am i getting it all wrong? well i like it anyway, nice job! =) -- Posted by hawaiianpunc591 at 11:36 am on June 8, 2008 i think the first show more desperation -- Posted by ElephantStone at 11:39 am on June 8, 2008 Quote: from x Jess x at 7:36 pm on June 8, 2008 the second one. i really like your ideas, is it like the boxer has a love/hate relationship with someone and takes out his emotions on the punch bag? or am i getting it all wrong? well i like it anyway, nice job! =) You got it right. -- Posted by Fouad at 11:40 am on June 8, 2008 1ST -- Posted by La Motta at 3:08 pm on June 8, 2008 Second looks more tender, the first one looks like he's worn out/fed up!! -- Posted by breakapart at 7:01 pm on June 8, 2008 first.
