Objectives:
I will create a drawing of my cartoon character that fills the space provided. This will be done as a simplified line drawing with little detail.
I will use curved neurographic lines to connect and unify my composition, rounding intersections to create smooth transitions and visual harmony.
I will apply watercolor using the paint-and-bleed method, exploring how water and color interact to create organic blends, movement, and mood.
I will reflect on how combining cartoon imagery, neurographic lines, and watercolor blending can express both creativity and emotion in a single piece of art.
