Color wheel project

I chose to draw what I did after looking through a few examples. I was going to draw a circle at first but I wanted to do something more complicated. I have a dog/wolf character I draw and I thought the many colors of the color wheel would look nice with it. The character is drawn in 3-D so I planned to color the main parts with the color wheel and color the shaded parts black. I made it in a way that you wouldn’t exactly relate the coloring to the color wheel unless you’re really thinking about it. I wanted the drawing to look like it’s naturally colored so the color wheel won't be forced into the picture.

My current work is very similar to all of my other work. I am well known in the local street art community for my character that I drew. I notice that in the current times street art is becoming very recognized and well known. The type of street art I focus on tends to take a basic character and exaggerated it with emotions, actions, and colors in many different ways. The color wheel was made and used to help artists with colors. Many of my pieces consists of the same character in different settings showing different emotions and colors. I was basically inspired by myself to draw this picture the way I did.

The main focus was to color the character in with the color wheel and leave the 3-D parts for the black. I bolded the outline to make it stand out and I did the background red and black and left the middle white to contrast.
