Cat Candy

11" x 9"

Colored pencil, Bristol paper, white gel pen

My main idea for this was so represent the holiday of Halloween using something that was included in the actual holiday. I also liked drawing candy the last time I did so I thought that if I configured the candy to look like something related to Halloween, i would be a good representation.

I used colored pencil for tall the colors, I used regular pencil for any shadows and just to be able to bland them with my finger and I used white gel pen for all of the highlights on the wrappers

I went through the process of making a grid on the picture I took and printed. After this is was mostly about what colors I had to layer and blend to get the right color of the shadows and different parts of the candy. For example for the Dubble Bubble gum I had to use brown and yellow, which I had to use for most of the lighter colored candies.
