Image Essay #10



This piece would be one of the many Naruto fan arts done by Ore-sama. This piece makes good use of value contrast. How the moonlight reflects on the water and the characters look about accurate. How the shades of gray go from low-value to mid-value to high value bend in well. The use of value also makes the characters, the tree, and the moon look three-dimensional.

The foreground is the darkest. The middle ground has the mid-value shades of gray and is also where one can see the shades start to blend. The area where the moon is in the background is the lightest. There is also some use of value on the moon itself to give it a more three-dimensional look.

The two characters and the tree are the most dominant on the piece. The moon looks very small to make it look like it is far distance away. Also the trees in the background are solid black and two-dimensional compared with everything else and it gives off the effect that they are a far distance away. The piece is also in linear perspective for it seems to lead the viewer eye form the moon to the characters or vice versa, depending on what the viewer notices first.
