Sustained Investigation #1

Escape from Anxiety

Sketch

Artist Statement

Something that guided this piece was mental health and how different people deal with anxiety. Obviously these aren't all the distractions people use but i tried to use some of the most common ones, music and sports.

I made the hair, guitar, microphone, trumpet, and balls in colored pencil. I used ink to make the blue and orange background. I used a white gel pen to make the writing on the blue background.

Some processes I used was that I looked up some songs about mental health and chose some of the lyrics to add in the blue section. I also had to go through some different options of different things people use to get through their anxiety.
