"Drunks at a Window"

"Drunks at a Window" (2011) was inspired by Jan Steen's "Rhetoricians at a Window." (1661-66) My interpretation mimics the painting's composition and narrative. I believe my rendering was successfully executed: I mostly wanted to capture the energy and narrative contained in the original painting. Using graphite on sketch paper, I rendered close friends of mine in their intoxicated, naturalistic state. I also appreciated the composition of the figures and their relationships between one another. I usually like representational drawings and this is one of my most successful interpretations. Overall, it is one of my favorite pieces =)
