"Dragon Playing with Yarn"

8" x 5.5"

The story that is created with my whatchamaDRAWit is a dragon playing around in the wild. But while playing around he found some string and is now playing around with it. I didn’t really have a choice to draw what I made but we all chose a card with a random thing/things on it and we were told to draw that or what came to mind when we read that thing on the card. But the project relates to my life because I made it and it was myself who chose the card that i did out of the two I picked up.

For my piece of artwork, I only used a few different tools to make it. I used a regular 2D pencil to create the outlines of the artwork, and I used different colored colored pencils to make the piece of artwork look a little more realistic and more interesting to look at.

The process I used to create my artwork was first using pencil then colored pencil. I also used the colored pencils to create texture in the yarn so it actually looked like yarn not just a ball. My project evolved over time because when I first attempted to draw it my dragon was not scaled correctly to the size of the yarn so it was completely out of proportion so I started over to try to make the size more realistic. I also decided because I had extra time to add some actual scales that the dragon could have to add even a little more texture. My next steps could be to make the colored pencil a little neater.
