Reflection
During this project, I learned that it takes A LOT of layers to make large spaces of black sharpie not look streaky. But I learned how to properly cover it up. I also got better at making straight lines (even though my hand was shaky).
I took inspiration from myself... and Star Wars. Just kidding. It just happened to look like the Death Star, hence the name.
So, like a moron, I basically started the project the day before it was due. Technically I started it on Wednesday, but most of the progress was made Thursday night. I started with the giant sphere in the corner and branched outwards. Once the boxes started to get really small, I moved to the bottom half of the piece and started on a smaller sphere. I then surrounded the piece with black and colored the bottom half red. Then, I used a silver paint pen to separate the two sections. However, when I was using the paint pen, I spilt it and a bunch of silver dots got on the piece. Instead of covering it up, I decided to fling my pen over my piece, adding a bunch of random silver dots. They kind of look like stars. I swear its not the Death Star. The piece has a strong emphasis on shape and direction through the use of heavy contrast.
If I could start over, I would have made my lines cleaner in the beginning so I wouldn't have to spend hours going back over the black section.
It's abstract... mic drop.
