La Joconde / Mona Lisa

I tried something different for this one.

I got some colored pencils so that the drawings would look better.

I used the technique of reversing the colors again and had to draw the canister of oxygen in red so that it would show up as green in the final picture.

I also fixed a problem with my printer that was causing the colors to come out weird.

Whistler's Mom

My newest one.

This alteration took a little more thought mainly because of the color of the original work of art. After a while I figured out that if I inverted the colors of the original and drew the wheelchair in black, when I REinverted the picture after that it would show up in white.

I had debated putting a walker into the picture, but in the end I decided against it.

Disability In Art and History

For my next alteration I decided on Georges Seurat's Un dimanche après-midi à l'Île de la Grande Jatte (A Sunday Afternoon On The Island Of La Grande Jatte).

For this one, I drew the crutch on the lady in the foreground first. Initially I drew the crutch in the style of one that you might get from a hospital for a temporary injury, but then I decided that a different design would be better instead. I'm happy with the crutch I drew for her, but I'm not as keen on the one I drew for the lady by the water in the background. (The handle almost makes it look like she has a penis.)

After I finished with those crutches, I drew the wheelchair. It ended up being a bit larger than what I had envisioned originally, but I figured that I'd leave it that way since the purpose of doing this is to raise awareness about disabilities.

The braces on the guy in the foreground that is lying down were an afterthought. I hadn't planned on putting them in at first. When I was finished with all of the other stuff, though, I noticed that he'd be the perfect recipient of them. (Unfortunately they ended up looking more like a corset than braces.)
