Marker and Colored Pencil

This project began when I was given the prompt to draw a robot made of only triangles and circles. When I got that prompt I knew I wanted to incorporate stencils for the triangles and circles I drew and originally I wanted to make the robot entirely covered in circles. This piece is nothing like anything I've made in the past so when I was doing the project I wanted to keep an open mind and interpret it creatively.

This work was made using a sharpie, ink pens, colored pencils, and markers. I began with graphite and sketched the piece then I colored it in with markers, outlined with sharpie, added details with the ink pens and lastly I did the background in colored pencil.

This piece had a few revisions, like I mentioned before I originally wanted to cover the entire in circles or make it out of circles but I decided I liked the idea of making it a rectangle out of two triangles more. I also did some research to decide how I wanted to make the spots where you can see the inside of the robot and on robot dogs to get an idea of what they look like. I made the robot dog even though it wasn't part of the prompt because I thought the piece needed more added and it helps tell a story.
