(Blue masking fluid always looks weird to me)
Okay.... deciding to really put myself out there. I have only posted some journal art because I've been scared to share what else I make due to a few different things. One, A.I. I've been hesitant to put anything more significant to me out there in fear of it being stolen or just people not believing I made it. Two, my bigger projects take a LONG time due to time constraints and mental health nonsense. And Three... well it's just scary to share what's in my head and soul isn't it?
(Here, I have just taken the masking off of the white parts. Forgot that it would also remove the pencil drawing underneath.)
Anyway.... this is the beginnings of a piece inspired by the song "Disease" by Lady Gaga. I have a very active and vivid imagination and often see things in my mind when listening to music. Music can be a very visceral experience for me. And I've wanted to create some of the things I see for a long time. This is the first one that I've really put effort into.
What you see here is actually my third attempt at this piece. In addition to a lot of sketching and planning. It took me some trial and error to figure out how I wanted to go about it with the color. I decided on mixed media. A watercolor background/base layer and then colored pencil:
I'll probably end up using some paint pens to do finishing touches but we will see when I get there. Right now this is very much in the "ugly phase." So if you comment, please be kind. It's far from finished.
