Analysis: I was inspired to create this landscape portrait of human destruction, from the book by Patrick Carmen called, "Atherton". It inspired to create floating islands in the mist of human destruction, because that was Patrick's resolution for the survival of human kind, and he created his own world/environment on these floating islands. I liked the process of drawing this drawing because I was able to repetitively draw different textures, and I was able to create a realistic landscape from Carmen's unrealistic fictional book. Some challenges that I faced while drawing this project was the repetition of drawing the multiple trees in this landscape, because every tree is different. Other than the tree difficultly, I loved every other aspect of this project, from drawing the buildings, to creating the textures of the floating islands. I have grown artistically by creating this project this semester, by learning how to create and use different textures, by learning how to create and use different perspectives in any drawing, and by learning how to use different shades of both pen and color to make my art look realistic.
