Desert of Weird

Black Pen

9"x12"

The main idea that guided my work was the fish head, elephant body, and spider legs. It was already such a strange combination. I knew that this piece needed the background to fit the creature, so I really just tried to make everything as weird and strange as possible. I really was just trying to figure this out while I was drawing, because other than the creature I did not sketch anything. The materials I used was black pen and pencil. Throughout making this artwork, I was really just trying to let my imagination wander as far as possible, because you don't want an idea, you just want to draw as your mind feeds thoughts and emotions. That is the rule I try to follow when making these types of pieces, because without a starting idea I will have no idea what it will look like when finished so it can be as strange or unique as I can make it. My emotions that I was feeling while making this piece were irritated and angry. I was fighting with my parents and was angry I couldn't tell them what I was feeling so I went and I drew, that is how this artwork was made.
