investigation #4

rat poison

watercolor, gouache, colored paper

21x4.5 inches

The idea for this investigation piece was "hunger", and I wanted the guy to look starved. I also haven't done like a "creepy" piece for the investigations yet, so this was perfect.

I used watercolor for basically everything, and I used gouache to lighten one of the mouses heads. Finally, I used colored paper for the blood

I made everything grey tone (except for paper) because I wanted it to feel eery, and I used paper for the blood, because I wanted it to feel very flat and have an unreal feeling. Because the situation itself is very unreal.
