Art Reflection

1. The first thing I had to do was really draw the sky line which is normally easy and appealing to look at however the negative part is that you almost always have a lot of white space left on the picture that you have to fill up at some point in the process. Also for mostly all of the project I used a pencil which was nice for the second part of my master plan which was shading in the sky and making the G-symbol as I've grown a custom to calling it. The third part and the part I had the most trouble with was making the G-symbol stand out in the mostly pencil picture so I used a lot of yellow and white color pencil to sort of brighten the area around the picture.
2. When I originally came up with the concept of a letter in the sky I was first thing to myself like who the hell puts something in the sky to signal things, and immediately like the true nerd I am, I said Batman. Batman with the legendary bat symbol, was my inspiration for the project I represented this mostly with the tiny  silhouette of The G-man himself a top one of the buildings in the picture and also the night sky played a part  in it seeing as Batman and G-man only work at night, it's convenient for them.
3. For me the most challenging aspect was making the G pop out on the page. It was covered with the dark pencil marks and originally it was much smaller which kinda took away from the point of the letter project so it had some fixing to do. Also being directly related to the bat man symbol it needs to have some sort of yellow kinda coming off it or else whats the point so that was also kind of hard making the symbol actually shine.
4. Overall, I liked the project and I say I'm satisfied with it. I'd say I'm satisfied mostly because I got all the small details I was looking to get on to the paper on to paper I didn't really forget to do anything and I made a effort, so as long as I did that I'm happy with it.
5. If I could change one thing I would get rid of the second level in the sky line. The reason I'd get rid of it is because I'd have more room to make the G bigger and in the process make it the actual main focus of the picture.  

Inspiring Person


 

My life has always seemed to revolve around my older brother. My older brother has been a staple in my life for as long as I can remember considering the fact he taught me everything I know. My older brother is who I looked up to when I was younger until I realized at like 11, he was a terrible person. Naturally like most younger brothers he rubbed off on me, not literally, and I became just like my older brother.  My older brother inspires me in a sense that I want to surpass him in life and just be better than him in general cause in true brother fashion my job as the little brother is to beat him at something, literally anything, and that has yet to happen.  

This picture perfectly reflects the relationship me and my brother hold, me being the one trying to fight back against and come out on top of the terrible person known as my older brother. I aspire to beat him, and one day, one fateful day I'll do it.
