Q4 Art Project

My project shows two men relaxing and conversing by a tree these men our abstract characters and have strange bodies. I want this to show how us people are peaceful, loving and kind creatures. It also shows how we relax and chill. For this artwork, I used colored pencils and a pencil. I used these because they were the best option to make light and dark shades for my drawings. This relates to my previous work by how I was using different shades of color however, I used multiple instead of just black. To create my artwork, I first started to replicate the image by sketching it. As I did more,  I shaded it darker until I was able to color. Then I outlined it in color pencil by pressing hard after I just colored it in. Melike Kara made this work and this inspired me because of the Abstract art. The technique, sketching is important because if you make a mistake it’s easy to erase and makes the process better. I am most proud of how good I replicated this work because of the sheer difficulty the style of drawing was. However, that’s what I wanted. I wish I could change how long the arm was and the eraser spots on the project because it makes it look like a mess. I learned a lot about my artist Melike Kara and how her artwork is amazing however, the artwork is strange and hard to read. However, that’s what I like about her work.
