Beautiful Oops

The subject to my creation was nature and smokey the bear. The setting that I attempted to draw was the woods since the whole point smokey the bear is around is to “Protect against forest fires”. The work was made with obviously the ink drop and I only used pencil to draw smokey the bear. I also used an image off the internet on which I was able to look at and roughly draw smokey the bear. I came up with smokey the bear because I thought of the top of a hat and it didn't work with santa so I chose smokey the bear.

I think I used informal balance and maybe rules of thirds but I'm not really sure. I think I used informal balance in the trees by having 2 trees on either side of smokeys head. I think that I used the rule of third by placing smokeys head in the center third even though the rule of thirds probably means having Smokey off to one side and have something else on the other 2 thirds. Originally I wasn’t going to add a smokey the bear badge but I felt like something was missing to his chest so I added it to fill some of the white space. I also didn't want to leave white space behind smokeys head blank so I decided to draw a forest behind him.

There wasn’t really any story behind my artwork I honestly just thought that smokey the bear would be challenging and that my ink drop happened to work as the top of his hat. The project related to my life because I am always seeing smokey the bear adds and how he is trying to impact and encourage others not to go out and light fires they don't have control of and if they are going to light a fire to make sure it is controlled. I would maybe make my lines a bit darker and maybe add color to make smokey pop off the paper a little bit more that he does currently.
