Inspiration

My inspiration is the world, the cultures in each country, city, town, village, etc. I love to travel, it is something i would love to pursue for the rest of my life. Just being able to embrace yourself in another country and let all the beautiful surroundings make you feel happy to be apart of this world. Traveling makes me appreciate what i have, it also reminds me of how diverse and amazing this world is- what people have made from it. Right now my friend and I are saving up to go on a European tour, it would be amazing to visit all those countries and discover more beautiful places. One of the most amazing places i have been to is in Argentina. We went to visit this wine town, but the view was amazing, there were mountains surrounding us. And at night it was so dark, it was so easy to see the stars, we even saw a shooting star! Here is a picture:


Letter Project Reflection

1. I feel that drawing the outline of the figure was quiet difficult and took the longest amount of time, as i constantly had to erase and redraw certain parts. I enjoyed the amount of time we had in class to work on it by first creating 20 thumbnail sketches to generate ideas. By doing this it helped me grasp onto the idea of Mermaids and the Ocean's colors. When i began to use the watercolor, i loved painting the tail different shades of blue and green to emphasize the Oceans vibrant shades.

2. I've always admired Mermaids, ever since i was as little as i can remember. Mermaids have always been a representation of beauty and vibrancy. I love the shape of the letter "S" so i derived my idea by thinking about what forms could make "S", and Mermaids had popped into my head. I have always drawn Mermaids, so this type of pose seemed perfect for the Mermaid to make to form the letter. The way that her tail curves at the bottom and her hair flows up to form the top section of "S".

3. The most challenging part of this project was the watercoloring. Although i enjoy watercolor very much, i am still working on my techniques. I did mess up a few times around the face area, and that is something i would like to improve on- details.

4. I am satisfied with my project, although i feel that i should have spent more time on the watercolor, i like how the colors on the tail came out.

5. I would definitely try to change the background or add something to it in order to make it blend in or match with the image in some way.


Here is the final product (I took a picture of the before, but it got deleted somehow on my phone):
