Leaf Project

I’m calling this project Burn. The subject is about a leaf that was burned inside out and every small veins is burning. I chose to create this specific work because we went outside to get some leaves to draw. For materials, I used pencil to sketch, and color pencil to color.

I used a variety of techniques and methods including: Outlining, after I use the pencil to sketch around the burning holes, I outline it using black color pencil. While creating this work, I paid close attention to to how to make the burning part look realistic with orange as fire and the brown as being burnt. So I searched pictures from the web and learn how to draw it.

To add interest to my composition, I used balance, pattern... I like the way it looks like nothing, but red sketchy veins. However, I struggled with the color ways, I couldn't find the right color and Id used different colors, makes it look weird and unreal. My work shows that I can study how to draw something with just looking online.
