What drew me to this piece was it's expressive effect, whilst the face is clear & detailed, the rest is very loose, with use of different markings & shades. It fits together really well & I think it's choice of colour is fitting too.

Dine's work is very realistic looking, it has this 3D effect which makes you feel you could reach your hand out and pick up the tool. Whilst the tool is clear the background has this rough effect like it's been done on a rough piece of paper as a practise run. It also gives the appearance of ruffled, screwed up paper.

I think this piece is inviting in it's colour, and rough finish. It feels like it would be produced quick without much thought. I also like the bird's eye view feel to it, as if it had been done while up in a plane looking down on the country side below.
