M.I.A.

This project was a "your choice" project assigned by my drawing 2 class. My friend had requested a painting of her favorite musician M.I.A. The background is loosely based on her album cover. With geometric designs and colors, the contrast is between the face and the  background is prominent. The mediums I used are colored pencil, sharpie, and watercolor paint. I really liked how this turned out. The drips of watercolor were difficult, because the paper wouldn't let it freely drip so I had to hold the paper vertically and blow the colors down. Overall I'm proud of this piece. If I were to do it over I would focus on making the pattern more symmetrical.
