Emphasis on Lines by Anthony Rigoni

I created this piece using GIMP. First, I used the pencil tool to draw the lines for the art. Second, I used the paint bucket tool to color in the road, trees and the sleepy traveler. Third, I used the paint bucket tool to color the outlines on the markings on the road to make it look like it was painted on the road. Fourth, I used the pattern fill to make it look like Tony is resting on the ground.  Then, I adjusted the darkness and contrast to make the picture look like it was taking place at nighttime. Finally, I used the pattern fill to create a night sky.
The mechanical lines that I used for this piece represent the horizon. They are also used for the distance of the road so that they could be viewed from a far distance. The trees and the sleepy traveler are organic lines. The trees that I drew on each side of the road are standing vertically at a far distance. There is repetition in the form of the trees I drew. The balance for the trees on each side of the road is asymmetrical. The shape of the road is in the form of a trapezoid. 
This piece that I call, I’ll Wait until Tomorrow, is about our hero who is sleeping after a long day of walking. Thus, the hero has decided to take a break for the night. The purpose of this piece is to give the viewer a sense of relaxation and ease. When I drew this piece, I felt very calm because this piece represents how relaxed people are when they rest after a long journey.

The color for these drawings is monochrome. The cross hatchings of the lines in each drawing are for making the objects darker in appearance. My avatar is drawn with organic lines. The village has a symmetrical balance since it is divided by the valley. The texture for the grass in the third drawing is soft. The purpose of this series of drawings, Adventures of Tony the Yorkie Silky , is to introduce the viewers to my avatar, Tony the Yorkie Silky. In the first drawing, My Life with the Monster , Tony is tormented by an evil entity, which represents my life of torment I have endured under my sister.
