Donate Life

In this Donate Life project I was inspired by the quote "Help Someone Bloom" a quote I made myself. In my work I have portrayed two people as a flower. The one on the left that is wilting is passing on there heart to the other person who is blooming because of this donation. I'm not sure why I decided to portray the quote like this, at the beginning I was worried if it was gonna give off a creepy vibe for the Organ and Tissue Donation. But I soon grew to like it towards the end of the project because it was very different compared to others organ and tissue donation.

I made this artwork with pencil, thin tip sharpie, wide tip sharpie, ink pen, and watercolor.

I experimented with color in this project. I used a lot of colors that I usually don't use like black, yellow, and red, I usually struggle with these three colors in watercolor because the yellow and red both come out really light no matter how much I darkened them up. Then the black usually comes out dark no matter how much you lighten it up. So I ended up experimented with these three colors on a different paper before using them on the actual project so I didn't do something I was gonna regret. At first I was gonna do the quote "Help Someone Continue There Story" and I was gonna have a person opening a book and make it look like stuff were popping out of the book that related to organ and tissue donation. I think I could've done a better job with the color of the bodies and the design of the background. So I think if I were to do this again I would definitely choose different colors for the bodies and do a design in the background like different types of flowers in some type of pattern.
