Capturing Compositions

In this drawing we had to collect leaves and make 5 negative spaces and make designs or colors in the negative spaces. I used Prisma colored pencils and I used sharpie I also used references for the henna designs on my laptop. I chose to create the henna patterns in my drawing because I felt inspired by the Zentangle patterns that we did and I really like henna patterns so I decided to put that into my drawing.

I used the pattern techniques and I also tried to add shading into my drawing especially around the areas that colors combined or where shapes met. Sense I messed on my first piece of artwork I was able to experiment on that and I was originally gonna do a light blue and dark blue shading into one another as you can see at the top of my drawing, and then use a orange and a yellow and shade those together. But I didn't like the way it looked so I changed that idea and continued to experiment on my other drawing until I found the colors and patterns that I wanted in each area.

I don't have a meaning other then I really want to get henna done just because I enjoy the patterns and the way they look so nice. Really my drawing doesn't relate to my life its just something that I hope to get done one day. I honestly really like the way my drawing came out and I don't think there is anything I would change or make stronger.
