9' X 11'
Pen and colored pencil
For this piece, I was referring to my sustained investigation #11. I really wanted to redo this sustained investigation because I felt like there was not enough stuff around the flaoting gril to connect to the theme of being detached. To support this theme I adding more space objects such as planets, a rainbow, and stars. Not only did I add these things, but I also added a hand that the girl is sitting in to show how hard it is to break free of isolation which follows my inquiry question.
To create this piece, I first started my tracing my girl - and only the girl - so that I could have the freedokm of adding whatever I wanted in the background. After tacing the girl I brgan sketching in the other objects like the clouds and planets. Once the sketching was done I went in with pen and then eventually a little colored pencil to put emphasis on the rainbow.
At frist when I was creating this piece, there was not enough objects in the background and the girl appeared to be floating on nothing. To fix this I added a lot of clouds which I feel really balance out the piece.
