This graphite drawing is of a lone feather on the forest ground. The feather, serving as the focal point, lies atop of crumpled leaves. The picture has a sort of abstract quality to it due to its lack of color and blending of the objects. The minimal shadow leads the eye to believe they are looking at this feather from directly overhead. This viewpoint lends to the idea of this feather being "grounded". There's an unfortunate imbalance to this image that could have been cleared up my depicting it from a different angle or by using color. The frilly end of the feather came out looking like a blank space separate from the feather that it is meant to be a part of. While the lines of the feather give it a distinct shade, the rest of the image is lacking in that element of individualism.
