(Tap to see sketch then final (sorry about the snowflakes in the way)) For this major project, we had to create a card, any type we wanted. I chose to make a tarot card. For this assignment the teacher gave us a word, my word was destiny. I changed it a couple times before but this was my last one. Destiny is a very hard word to just draw. I had to do a lot of googling to figure this out. As you can see, the spider is my main subject. Spiders apparently represent destiny, I think it’s related to the spider webs, or something like that. Anyways, on each side below the spider I made a death side, and one with life. In the middle, we have a giant Y shape that is supposed to represent two paths/choices, since you choose your own destiny. In my opinion, I like the sketch more. Something that’s difficult for me is redrawing. I like to fully draw out the “sketch” instead of trying to “wing” the final. So on the sketch I draw what I like/ how I want to. But on the final, I always have less motivation and the bigger paper always has different dimensions which makes it difficult for me to keep everything the size I want it. Another reason I wasn’t happy with the final is because I had to color it. I hate coloring unless I prefer the main object itself colored. Now, I think spiders look cooler black and white, but I couldn’t do that on the final since my art teacher wanted us to color (it was 60% of the grade ;-;), so I had no choice.
