Beautiful Oops

Artist Statement 

For this assignment I made an underwater scene inspired by a blot of ink. I immediately made the smaller splotch into a fish. It was harder for me to decide what to do with the bigger one. It was a funky shape. I decided on a jellyfish because they can we all kinds of weird shape, so I figured it would work well. 

I used a pencil at first to make out a sketch. After I got it laid out in a way that I was happy with I outlined everything with a thin black sharpie so that the ink splotches stood out less. Lastly I added color. I decided to use markers because I wanted bright colors. My marker supply was limited, but I made due. 

I started with just the creatures swimming around and it still looked pretty blank so I added seaweed and coral to fill in some of the white space.
