For this piece I decided to do three individual works and combine it into one final piece to give it a more interesting composition. I did three different complementary color groups to really practice and play around with the idea as much as I could. For the first two sections I used marker on cardboard. The first section I started with was the elephant in the lefthand corner. I used the split complementary colors of: red, purple, and a yellow green. As I drew this piece I realized that using only these 3 colors made each one really pop. The next section I worked on was the giraffe and I used dark green, orange, and pink. Lastly, I drew a hunter to and put him on a different paper and used a different medium to distinguish him from the animals. I chose a cold color to really symbolize hunting and death. For the Hunter I used colored pencils: orange, blue, green. All of the split complimentary pieces were a challenge because they really contrast each other but once you add layers they really start to compliment and give the piece another dimension.

For the growth piece I played around with the idea of having a person becoming intertwined with nature. Eventually I decided on having hair growing to become roots. Also, as I drew this piece I saw that it could also represent the flow of thought. In the background I added dispersing multicolored triangles to again symbolize thoughts. My main subject was a character I made up in my head and I chose to work with a face because I've been practicing with them lately. I mainly used ebony pencil but also went back to add hints of red, orange, and yellow to have and interesting fading look.

The deconstruction piece was a project where we had to show an object being taken apart. I started off this piece drawing many hands in ebony pencil. I used the repetition of hands as the main subjects of this piece. I added oranges as my deconstructed object because I thought the peel looked very interesting when it was unwrapped with all the twist and curves. Also, I liked the idea of using orange and blue together because they are opposite colors on the color wheel. While creating this piece I was very surprised seeing how many colors you can actually use to make a realistic color. In my orange, I used: blue, red, white, orange, green, and yellow. Finally for the background I used blue dispersing circles to give a sharp contrast with the main orange focal point.

For the Shadow piece I decided to give it multiple colors that overlapped. I mixed both warm and cool colors throughout my piece to give it contrast and balance. After I finished the shapes, I went back and added patterns in ebony pencil to make it more interesting and lighten the mood.

To make the piece more interesting I added multiple patterns along the shapes.

I continued with layering on colored pencil. I mixed colors and darkened in the places that overlapped with ebony .

I started off with sketching the shadows I saw with thick ebony lines to add contrast against the regular weighted lines.
