BLOBS: Exploration #47 says to “make tracings of stain or splotches you find.” In relation to my personal territory I decided to use the rust marks on the hand rails for blobs or splotches. I documented these blobs photographically and then spent some time drawing my favorite ones. The book says I experimented with color and then cut them out to make a collage. Upon creating my collage I decided that there was a scene taking place in the shapes. To me the shapes look like monsters. I took the blobs and repositioned them on a clean page and then set about narrating my story.
In my story there is a giant orange fish about to consume an innocent sea horse. Observing this horror is a bewildered young fisher man, a screeching yellow bird, and a lazy green sea creature. I added a bit of color to bring the scene to life.
Over all i was pretty satisfied with my drawing. It follows the cartoonish style I adopted over the summer using pen and water color. The color helps add to the whimsical yet intense feeling of the scene.
