NVOW #3

Artist Statement:

For this project, I decided to remake my WhatchamaDRAWit project from this year. I was really dissatisfied with how childish the drawing turned out, so my goal for this project was to make it more high-tech and sophisticated-looking. I did this by keeping the overall shape of the ship, yet taking away most of the silliness. For example, the little alien dude, the music notes and squiggles, and even the extra fin on the bottom. I also wanted to change the color of it to something darker like grayish-silver.

The materials I used for this project were some drawing paper and an HB pencil. I used only a pencil because I ran out of time to finish.

My process for drawing this new work was to first think about how I could remake the ship to seem more serious, yet keep most of its original shape. I figured that I could do this by changing very little. I made the speaker more pronounced, the light strip on the side a bit smaller, and took away one of the fins. My plan was to utilize color to make it seem more serious, but I ran out of time to do so. I was going to use gray, silver, black, and some red for the ship while creating a space scene with little planets for the background.
