sustained inv #13

I created this piece as a continuation of experimentation of SI #10 where I overlapped transparency paper to create a sense of movement. With this SI I decided to try it again but use the transparency paper more as an environment. While continuing to experiment with how to create movement with it. Instead of the movement happening vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, I wanted it to be coming out from itself. 

I wanted to use transparency paper again because I was intrigued by it, but also because I knew I could create real feeling movement with it. But as always I started with a sketch, and then I created my object with laid down watercolor and then colored pencil on top. Then I created the foreground and background spikes with digital (on procreate+ipad), and then printed it onto paper, then transparency, then finally the object on transparency. 

I wanted to add more feeling to my object. Since they're falling and moving in all sorts of directions, I decided I should probably add feelings to them. So to do this I made the object have a human-like face. Matching it with blue gave it more of a feeling of despair, which correlates to his facial expression.
