Drawing 1

My idea was to just work with new materials, and to really learn from this project. I had never really worked with colored pencils before and I wanted to try and use them, and to make it as realistic of a piece as I could. I also poured alot of meaning into this work as well. The bubbles reflect the human mind. Both are fragile, yet wonderful. Easily manipulated, but oddly resilient. Some bubbles and minds touch each other and stick, some glance off, and others destroy each other. Yet, both are beautiful and amazing. The hardest thing with this project was getting the symbolism right. I had to make some of the bubbles look similar, but also different. No bubble would catch the light exactly the same as the one next to it, but it would be very similar, which was difficult to portray. I was also figuring out colored pencil techniques and teaching myself them as I was working on this. I absolutely love how it turned out. I’ve never really worked in realism before, and I’m very happy with how it ended up looking. I wish I could have made some of the lines cleaner, but it will come with time. You can also see bits of my style in it, because I normally do lots of color or no color at all, and I typically do very sketchy lines, which is portrayed in some of the messiness of the lines.
