Zoomed Shoe

For this artwork, the main idea that guided me through my artwork was creating some sort of scene or abstract art from the zoomed-in part of my shoe. 

The material I used for this artwork was a graphite pencil,  watercolor paint, gel pen, oil pastels, and colored pencil on watercolor paper. I used the graphite pencil to sketch out my initial drawing of the zoomed-in shoe, then used watercolor to color in everything, next, used the oil pastels to make any shading adjustments, and then afterward, I used the gel pen and colored pencil to make the drawing pop out more. 

I began to look at my drawing to figure out whether to make it an abstract artwork or an actual scene. The more I looked the more ideas flew through, and eventually, I thought of going for a space theme. I started by making the bigger lines look like roads crossing through with little UFOs inside. Afterward, for each section split off by the initial sketch, I made different parts of space in each one.
