falling person

this is a lot more simple than the hand and i think it benefits from it only using the outline and small details i think ive successfully found the balence i need that allows the complexity to not over rule the image.
the finger print person in my sketch book was the main influence to keep myself from going over and drawing in the sleeve for the arm. the lack of form creates this wing because that is what the structure allows for. i think this is a great metaphor for finding freedom within constriction by showing your self less you gain less attachments less restrictions. 

i chose t put the source triangle in the center of the torso trying to cover the lungs and heart of the figure because i think that's the source of are being (other than the head of course) and there for to place the source triangle where every thing branches out from seemed logical and i think it works quite well. something that i didn't really expect to happen  was the the closeness that was created around it almost sucking the rest of the figure in rather than forcing it out. it works quite well though separates it from reality and creates an obvious restricting factor. at the same time this squeezing exaggerates the rest of the form outwards so there is a balence happening between the structure and the figure. this unintentionally represents possibly the balence we strive to find in life between friends and work or structure and freedom.  

I chose the figure to be falling because there is that sense of nothing when you fall as a skater i do it a lot and there is a crazy feeling where you have no control over whats going on. everything is concentrated on the landing (on my board or face) nothing else matters when your falling because hitting the ground in the right way is essential. because of this powerful sensation i am always inclined to involve it  my work although most people probably wont have the same perception its my own expression of escape and escaping is freedom
