For this assignment we were to set up a still life at home that looked like the scene of a murder, and then reproduce it in a drawing medium naturalistically.
I threw stuff about in my room and set up the still life. I don't actually own a severed head, so I just had to wing it without reference. Same with the blood. I rendered the still life on 18"x24" drawing paper with washes of ink. I wanted it to look a bit awkward, so I basically painted the image with indian ink and water. The image vacillates between naturallistic and stylized, which I like.
