Beautiful Oops

Artist Statement:

The story with this art piece was create some sort of image from ink splotches on a piece of paper.

This art piece relates to my life because when looking at the photo I noticed that there were eyes coming from the ink. I looked further into it and saw the boogie man's eyes from the nightmare before Christmas. Growing up this movie meant a lot to me, and I wanted to make it into something special that connected to my childhood. I made it pop with color so it could look more childlike.

The process of this piece was getting an idea of what I wanted to create. After looking at the ink for a few hours I started to see something stick out to me which was eyes. I started drawing out a sketch around it to create the head shape, then went to drawing the body. I then erased the pencil lines and went over with a pen. I then used watercolor markers to create a washed look. Then it was complete.
