ARTWORK PROCESS: Don't Pull The Cannon, Fitri!

My project 4 final for my Anatomy and Perspective class. This was crosshatched at first, but I decided to adapt it to my paper style and see how I can have the paper interact with itself and its environment. The two characters on the sides were made during the last project's thumbnailing and updated for the drawing. Fitri, the character in the middle, was my project 3 design.

At first, I wanted to do a scene that featured more-so the character on the right, where Fitri's back was facing the viewer. Though, after some compositional critiques, I decided to hone in on the characters in order to make the composition more visually engaging.

From there, it was mainly a matter of shading and figuring out how the complex background would interact with the complex foreground. I knew I wanted the drawing to feel high-energy and chaotic, a lot like the situation itself. Overall, I really like this drawing and how it turned out!
