Watercolor paper, pencil, sharpie, india ink

11.5 in x 9 in

There isn't really a full story to this drawing. I just kept adding wherever I felt there was too much white space, and I like the way it turned out. The closest thing to a story there is would be that the giant worm creature is curling around to look at Jabberjaw, who is only there because I thought he would fill the remaining white space perfectly, and make this seem more like it was happening underwater since he is a shark.

I used the piece of watercolor paper with the spilled india ink I was handed in class, my pencil, and a sharpie.

In my drawing, I saw the spilled ink patches as eyes, and I just started drawing a weird shape around it. Somehow that turned into a duck or platypus looking thing, and I decided for the body I should just give a caterpillar type of look. once I did that, I realized there was a lot of white space still there so I added his tail curling back into the page. I decided there should be something he was curling back to look at because it didn't look full enough, so I added Jabberjaw in the water next to him. I think they look happy to see each other so maybe they are friends or something, I don't know. Something I would do differently if I were to do this again or keep working on it would be to add color. I would probably use watercolor to do that, and maybe the giant creature would have different colors for each of his segments.
