The band

paper, colored pencil, graphite

11x8.5

The main idea that guided my artwork is immediately I knew that this had to be some sort of band. From there I drew a stage and each animal playing their instrument. I think that the speakers in the back make the drawing all come together because they add the feeling/look of a band or a concert. I liked the prompt that I choose because as I was drawing this I thought about each animal playing their instrument and how it may or may not fit their "personality".

This artwork was made by first I drew out all of the animals and the instruments with a pencil to make sure the placement was correct and they looked how I liked them. Then I started tracing over and shading certain things with colored pencil to add more dimension and color to the drawing. Lastly I added the speaker in the back because I thought that they made the idea of a band playing come to life as well as add more to the drawing to have less negative space.

The process that I went through between my idea and the finished piece is I had many ideas of where I thought the animals could be playing. I thought basement, in a forest and then I thought that they could be playing on a big stage. After this, the idea of the placement of the animal was pretty easy to think of because of the idea of a band and how they might be placed on stage after this I started adding more color to the drawing with colored pencil until it became how it is now.
