These two artworks successful present their concepts and values to audiences through numerous techniques. The first artwork employs randomness and unrestricted as its main techniques.  The second artwork relied on understatement and repetition the same basic shape as its main techniques. Both artworks are interesting and special.

On the first image, the artist employs irregularity techniques through using free lines to construct the basic shape of a human face. All of lines have different density, thickness and colors. It empowers the figure in the image to movement effects such as swinging of hairs. The designer also employs transparency technique to presents 3-D space effects with lines and colors. The line showed slight variations in thickness and the color also change on the intensity to create depths and thickness that separate positive object, the human face, from the negative background. Finally, the designer demonstrates techniques of both complexity and randomness through the neck area of the main character. The neck is computed without restriction since that are no consist direction, order and style. It is freedom, boldness and flexible. The transparencies of the lines present a feeling that is the figure immersed in illusion, unrealistic. I would adopt techniques of both free lines and transparency in order to produce better artworks in the future. These visual techniques enable the artwork to present a feeling of unlimited possibilities and freedoms.

The second artwork presents an extremely special cloth. The artist demonstrates a different view point for cloth that people do not recognize before. He/she employs techniques of both consistency and sharpness to empower the uncomfortable feeling. The equal amounts of spaces between folds create a sense of consistency.  The larger folds within areas such as shoulder create a sense of sharpness. The cloth is constructed by different triangles and each triangle presents sharpness, consistency and understatement. These techniques enable the artwork to present 3-D impression. However, the triangle is randomly arranged, which presents a reality feeling to the artwork. These visual techniques can be adopted on the industrial design work such as the furniture design.
