leviosa.

For my drawing class our first assignment is to create a drawing similar to the style of Chris Van Allsburg. His illustrations in Jumanji, The Polar Express, and The Chronicles of Narnia are his most noted works. The best way to summarize his style is that it is super-realistic with a 'fantastic' element that sets an eerie, magnificent tone. As shown in the following works: 

I by no means feel that my drawing is comparable to his; his overall attention to detail and concentration is impeccable and incomparable. Anyways, for my 'fantastic' element I created a pint of beer that does not have a glass - it is just the liquid - thus making it levitate a bit above the table. Since I can not directly reference liquid levitating it was a challenge with the shadow and omitting the glass from my observation. Overall though I am satisfied with my drawing; really like how I mimicked the various textures - leather hat, hair on arms, cloth, wood table and liquid. I am still trying to think of a name that will illuminate my element to make it a bit more noticeable.
