Fallen angel, in graphite

A hand-drawn graphite piece exploring stillness, weight, and quiet descent.

The figure stands grounded, head lowered, wings heavy rather than lifted. There’s no movement here, just a pause. The details are built slowly in layers of graphite, giving the piece a soft but dramatic and worn texture.

I focused on contrast and depth to pull attention into the figure while keeping the overall atmosphere muted and restrained.

Drawn traditionally using graphite on paper.
