Student revolution (Les Miserables)by *magw21

Traditional Art / Drawings / People

The students revolt in this scene from Les Miserables.

It was drawn with pastels on thick white art paper.

It's a massive piece (actually in two parts but joined in Photoshop years ago) that I did in high school.

I plan to re-photograph it one day, but first I have to find an area large enough to hang it (it's stored rolled up).

The image was copied from "Les Miserables: History in the Making" by Edward Behr.

1994

I really like this kind of 'shadowy' art and how it suits Les Mis! Great job, very inspiring!!

*magw21 Jul 12, 2012

Thanks! I love drawing images with great shadows - and Les Mis is a wonderful subject for that.

This is excellent! The students already look ghostly, which makes sense because their time at the barricade is supposed to be like a twilight. Is that Gavroche holding up the flag on the right? I like that his silhouette is distinct.

*magw21 Jul 9, 2012

Thanks! Yes, that is Gavroche.

The others do look rather ghostly - I must admit I'd not really thought about it like that. To me they look like heroes emerging out of a fire. I guess it's a triumphant image in many ways, but when you think about their fate it becomes so sad...

Looks terrific. I've always liked this scene (with Gavroche and his mini flag)

*magw21 Jul 9, 2012

Thank you! I've always loved this scene too, which made it all the more enjoyable to draw.

Beautiful. I really, really like the use of lights and shadows here. Amazing job!
