This is a drawing of Shadrack with his over sized hands. It reminds me of Mr. Bromden when he is imagining the nurse grow and shrink. Maybe Shadracks hands will be like Mr. Bromdens fog.
Eli, First of all, ditto to Max. I completely agree with the whole darkness, sun thing. I also really enjoy how his face has no specific features, so its blank which to me makes it simple but gives a big impact. nice!
Eli, like Luna said, I really like how you left the face blank. I works literally because Shadrack didn't look in a mirror for so long so he really didn't know what he looked like. I think he even said at one point "What am I?" The blank face can represent his feeling of being lost with "no past," etc. Also, to go along with your description, the unfamiliar face thing reminds me of Bromden too. Remember when he looked in the mirror in the bathroom and didn't recognize the face as his own? That's exactly like what Shadrack thought when he saw his face in the toilet water.
Eli, I think this picture depicts Shadrack in the perfect sense. In the book it describes his over sized hands which is depicted really well in this picture. I think that your hypothesis about Mr. Bromdens fog compared to Shadrack's over sized hands. Job well done Eli.
I really like this picture of shadrack, I think that if I were to redraw this picture now, having completed the book, I might add sula in the background or in a doorway or some other way depicting her as shadrack's visitor.
Eli, this is hella tight. I like the darkness of it. It's interesting how this picture seems so dark, yet the sun is shining over shadrack.
