Objective:
To create a large ink drawing composed of silhouettes combining two opposite themes.
Process:
To begin this project, I chose two subjects I am passionate about – space and the ocean. The creative process started with brainstorming various elements associated with each theme, consolidating my ideas in my sketchbook. I aimed for the octopus within the rocket ship to serve as the central focus, strategically placing numerous surrounding objects to guide the viewer’s eye through the composition. Following multiple iterations and feedback sessions, I sketched the final concept onto a white Bainbridge board. The inking process began, involving the use of a rapidograph pen and a small paintbrush to carefully render each detail.
Medium/Tools Used:
Liquid black ink on Bainbridge board
