WhatchamaDrawit

Llama with Pajamas

8.5 x 11

Colored Pencil

This is my WhatchamaDrawit piece of a Llama wearing pajamas picking flowers from a garden. I made this piece with a pen and colored pencil. I wasn't sure exactly what the composition was going to look like, so I first started out with sketching a llama and continued from there. I wasn't sure how I was going to put pajamas on the llama, but I imagined plaid pants and a stereotypical sleeping hat. I played around and added both objects onto the llama, and went on from there. I knew I wanted to have a bush full of colorful flowers and to mimic the llama actually picking the flowers, I'd put flowers to show the llama is holding them in its mouth. I think this is a more cartoony-fun drawing instead of an accurately detailed piece, but I feel like it looks like it came out of a kid's book or something with all the colors. I used some blending techniques with colored pencil and it brought one some soft tones so I am happy I used this material instead of something else. I extended the background with a hill, and a bright blue sky with some fluffy clouds to replicate more of that cartoon theme.
