For my inspired ink I chose to write out lyrics to a song of one of my favorite bands I the mighty. The lyric is from the dog Psychomachia and the line I chose was "stay calm you've got to carry on even with the weight of all you've done. When I met the band over the summer I had the lyric actually written out by the lead vocalist for me. Continuing on with what I made it's almost a like a zentangle so I'm going to say this was my zentangle and inspired ink project just because of how time consuming it was. I used microns and sharpie for larger bits so it's all black and white and incorporated many different styles. The finished product is something I'm very proud of although I wish the text was easier to read. The piece I was inspired from is an artist, Joel Birch, who is also in a (different) band I listen to which is how I found the piece. It's similar with how he used the different styles and shapes.

Stencil The main difficulty for me was how darn tired my arm got tracing it! Besides that, it was tricky to spray the paint without getting it behind the stencil. However, I happen to love the outcome and it's something I also stand for in life. In general the style with what I put I really liked. Daily Monster
The most difficulty I had with this piece had to be figuring out what I wanted to do. It came to me once I blew the ink on the page because it reminded me of a monster coming out of something. What better than a monster coming out of the closet (no pun intended but now all I can imagine is gay monsters) Observational Drawing I thought that this would be easier than I thought but actually attempting it was very hard. I drew Claire and at first I thought "oh this is terrible" but after looking at it I actually found it almost abstract and liked it. Illustration Friday - People
I had difficulty differentiating to make one facial structure seem male and the other female. I took a sharper edged jaw and chin and less point nose for the male (sun) and is you look closely I focused on making the lips more masculine too. I chose to morph a guitar and a tree. I originally had an idea to do with animals because it's something that I'm really passionate about but while I was brainstorming my guitar in my room caught my eye and decided to do something with that. In the end I came up with the idea of a guitar with the stem turning into a tree. I was hesitant to chose a tree because I'm not good at drawing them but I feel as if I did a good job. I feel like there could be more highlighting in places but I believe I did a great with the colored pencils and making depth in the tree and guitar. I didn't put much thought into this illustration Friday as the idea just passed through my mind, I didn't sit for hours trying to come up with an idea for such a simple word, people. I was inspired by the picture I posted to the right of this text; it made me think of the sun and the moon as people and so I decided that was what I was going to draw. If you take a closer look you can tell that I (or at least tried to) make the Sun's appearance more "manly" through his facial structure and lips and for the Moon a feminine facial structure and lips. One thing I don't like is how if you don't really take more than a second to glance it just looks like the Moon's face has really REALLLYYY bad acne and it bothers me. I also wish I could've made it more relevant to the quote because there's no really attraction shown besides how close the faces are. Besides that I am pretty proud of the shading and doing better with things I struggle with like noses.
