Scribbles









I made these scribbles using an ink pen and notebook paper. First, I spent 20 minutes drawing while not looking at the paper. Second, I spent 20 more minutes drawing out what I was visualizing. Finally, I spent the last 20 minutes giving a more detailed picture for each scribble. I have also marked down the dates for each sketch every day.

Most of the lines I have drawn have contour lines. Some of the objects I have drawn have organic lines for the people, structures and landmarks. I have also given each drawing monochromic colors. The buildings in my last scribble have near geometric shapes. There are also some messages I made on some pictures, include the phrase "I'm here", to represent Jesus' twelve apostles.  The mountains in the seventh drawing have an asymmetrical balance. The dark contrast is noticeable in the fourth and fifth drawings.

The first piece I made, A Surrealist's Fairy Tale, pays a tribute to famous surreal artists like Salvadore Dali. The second piece I made, Not Your Average Zoo, is about a strange looking creature being displayed at an odd-looking geometric zoo. The third piece I made, Why Not Eggrolls?, is a light-hearted caricature tribute to my aunt who died last Saturday. The fourth piece I made, Baby Octopus at Play, is a kind of metaphor of how some children grow up fast in life. The fifth piece I made, Stepping on Cloud #9, paints a symbolic balance between dreams and reality. The sixth piece I made, Joyous Shout At Sunset, is about praising God and how lucky people are to be alive. The seventh piece I made, Baba Yaga's New Neighbor, is about a neighbor who met Baba Yaga one night. The final piece, Little Steamboat Near the Skyline, is about how one newcomer is compared to the big city. The purpose of each piece is to catch the attention of the viewer and take a deeper look into the picture behind the scribbles that I made.

Adventures of Tony the Yorkie Silky

Image
I made these drawings with pen on paper. First, I went crazy with the scribbles. Second, I draw my avatar in the scribble-like scenery. Finally, I've added some more detail to the scenery. 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. The second drawing, What Lies Beyond the Beanstalk , can give the viewers a curious feeling of what happens once Tony climbs the beanstalk. The third drawing, Watchi...
