Here's a piece I submitted to a weekly art challenge on tumblr. I remembered "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" children's book I loved (and still do) and wanted to make something of it.
I finished a 3D puzzle of a Ferris Wheel! The extremely small pieces gave me a headache and with very little force, one of the carriages broke off. So I created an "Out of Order" sign. With this, it made it feel like my own and not something from an instruction manual. :)
I wanted to show off my mini creation:
Did I forget to mention the puzzle was very small?
It's been so long! Above are a few gouache studies from my Saturday class taught by Andrew Hem- he's amazing! The class is a challenge and I have a long way to go.
One of my very first projects at Otis was to create an avatar and level it up throughout the semester. The idea was based on dragon fruit and the leaves were to resemble seaweed.
I found this super fun to practice and experiment with! I found painting techniques I did that I liked. I still have trouble with color (and perspective) so it's a good thing I'm practicing with the basics too. Here's the link to the place I "visited". :)
