Sustained Investigation #3

This work is based off of the song Don't Try by Gerard Way. i wanted to recreate the imagery in the song with colors and body parts. i also wanted to create a visual of myself (the subject) listening to the song, and what i see when i hear it. the drawing of me is connected to a specific experience in which i sat on my porch listening to the song to get a break from life. i remember the sun pushing through the clouds as the song came to and end, and i wanted to visualize my wonder and peace in that moment.

the materials i have used so far are graphite pencil and black faber castell pens. i plan to use watercolor paint to add color.

i wanted to experiment with movement more in this piece. i also added more texture and value to the images in the drawing so far. my project started off pretty small, but i kept adding images and kept making the final product out to be bigger. my next steps will be to add color, then bring all the images together to create the final piece.
