David Hancock, is a contemporary artist who's main medium is pencil. In this series of works he focuses on depicting people transfixed in the world of video games. The style of drawing is very similar to my own. I like the white space around the subject, as it highlights the idea of the 'being', focusing solely on the personality and character of the individual as they are absorbed in the state of 'gaming'. David Hancock, was interested in the construction of an escapist fantasy, looking at how people begin to become the character in the real world. This idea can be seen in the following coloured pencil drawing, 'Sam as Zero' where the person has transformed into the character in the game she is playing. This concept of 'escapism' is the main idea that I want to get across in my own work.
'Hero'
'Callum'
'Aaron'
'Sam as Zero'
