#leaning armadillo I think tho

The fact that I have to pick between crab, armadillo, and penguin for the Minecraft mob vote hurts my soul

My initial plan was to create one more drawing that followed on from my previous developments and reflected Roy Lichenstein’s work, however this turned out to be harder than I anticipated.

I started by drawing a photo of the Armadillo again, with the reflection in the water as I had previously done. I incorporated aspect of Lichenstein’s work, including his colour pallet and lines to to indicate shading. While I definitely think this piece mirrors Lichenstein’s, I wasn’t totally happy with it, but couldn’t pinpoint why.

I then decided to try again and draw the building from a different angle, thinking it would reflect his work a bit better. This time i incorporates a path similarly to his work. I still wasn’t happy with it tho. While i could still see the similarities between this piece and his, it just didn’t feel it was finished, and I didn’t want this drawing to the finish to my project.

To combat this feeling, I played around with editing the colours of my drawings to try and make something I was happy with.

However, I still wasn’t content. After starting my third drawing, I realised i wasn’t happy with it because it wasn’t how I would have drew it on my own accord. All of my previous pieces leaned more towards neon and contrasting colours, whilst lichenstein’s are slightly more muted. It wasn’t that I wasn’t proud of the drawings, they just didn’t reflect my own personal style This realised gave me a new appreciation for the drawings, and helped me feel content with my final piece.
