sustained investigation #3

This drawing is about not having any ideas what to draw, despite the very colorful and inspired world we live in. Each color pallet used in this drawing is inspired by something in my life like my past self, my family members, albums I like, my friends favorite colors, and my favorite colors.

This drawing was made with sharpie, sharpie pen, water based markers, and a white gel pen. I used the sharpie pen for all line art, the black sharpie for coloring the subject black, the gel pen for making white lines on the subject, and the water based markers for the background.

This drawing deals with line, shape, color, and contrast. There is lots of line on the subject to create facial features and in the background to create and separate shapes. The background is composed entirely of shape and color. There is contrast between the black and white of the subject and the color of the background. This project originated as a portrayal of how I didn't have ideas, but when I was coloring every color pallet i used had some meaning to my life. My next steps would be to create more balance in the drawing, because some of the measurements and proportions are off.
