Wow, this is really late. As you can see, I've nearly finished the project. Although I spent quite a lot of time deliberating on what idea to use, I finally chose what I wanted to do last week. This week has been spent just cranking out the piece, and experimenting with new ways to use common media as well. The piece is technically mixed media, using pencil, colored pencil, and gel pen. Although I use these media more than any other media (except for maybe acrylic paint), I have never combined them in this way, and I am really proud of how it's turned out, especially since most of the project has been completed this week.
It's due to be critiqued on Monday, and I only have a little bit left to do with it. The background of the piece is the only part left to be finished, and for that I'll have to bring in my green gel pen from home. For the background, I've just been doing little scribbles, just letting my hand and the pen dance around the paper - I can't properly explain it, but I like how it looks. Hidden within those scribbles are little hearts, as well as little phrases that tell the story of the two women in the foreground. (This will be explained in my final process post for the piece.)
