sustained investigation #1

This sustained investigation piece is an answer to the question "How does music relate to culture?" I decided to show an 80's traditional goth individual walking towards a record store. This shows that the music they love reflects on their appearance and clothing, which I also take very seriously in my own life.

I started with sketching the person in graphite pencils, I ended up liking the sketch so much that I cut it out and glued it to the watercolor paper. I then did the same with the background and moved onto ink and prismacolor pencils.

I experimented with the process a bit cutting the sketch out and gluing it which I had never done before. I'm also working on improving the anatomy of my figures so that could be a next step.
