Mythological Contours
My project was inspired by mythological creatures, specifically creatures with human parts. (i.g mermaids, centaurs, etc), and drawn with an inspired comic style, using realistic proportions, as well as a more modern/pop culture twist. My method consisted of making micron contour drawings with single color washes on 24 x 16 inch canvases. Later in the process I decided to refine the color and line weight of the figure in an app named “Procreate”. I decided to add an historical description of the figure in the background, in a really subtle color so that viewers wouldn’t focus on the words but the drawing as a whole, allowing the words and image to complement one another. My inspiration come from Marcel Dzama and Kim Jung Gi. One of the challenges of this project was that my initial concept and ideas for materials changed a lot because of working remotely.
