Art Critique

This is a piece of work by my sister, Elle Wyant, from her blog of her sketches. I think the idea behind this drawing is clear. For the viewer, it is obvious of the point drawing and the humor in it. This drawing plays with the well-known superhero of Batman and someone who clearly is not a superhero, but his appearance makes him look so. The image of Batman is known as the bat-eared mask and the cape. With this drawing she uses a bean hat, but it is folded in a way that looks like bat ears, the obvious Bat Symbol as his belt buckle, and his scarf looks like the cape. Also the way she darkens the shadows around his eyes and the scarf covering his mouth shows the darkness of the superhero that he’s portraying. I don’t think that there is a hidden meaning in this drawing, but just the humor behind from the connection that the viewer makes. It is a very well drawn sketch. You can tell from the pencil strokes that she has knowledge of art and has worked with different techniques of drawing.
