Ink Volcano
Graphite and ink on drawing paper
12"x 9"

My ideas started with the two splotches of ink on my paper and I saw it looked like a volcano's inner magma pockets, so I drew a volcano.

The only materials I used were a graphite pencil, an eraser, and a black pen.

The process took to create this artwork started on finding an idea, I had ink on my page which I saw looked like a volcano's internal magma pockets, so I decided to draw a volcano. From there I decided to draw a volcano because the spatter of the ink made me think of a volcano erupting. Soon after I had to decide on my materials, then I drew them and added them to them making them look good. I used graphite, so I could sketch and erase, then I used ink to go over and make it darker.
