My Art

Creative Thinking Skills

This sketch was based off of a photo I took of my hotel room window while I was in Tofino over Spring Break. The view was so special and beautiful to me. When I got back over the break, I knew I wanted to illustrate it. I realized that I didn’t like how my photo had a telephone pole and wires in it, so I removed them in my piece. I also removed the boat dock and all of the other boats in the original photo. So technically my sketch is based in reality, but I added a lot of my own elements to it as well, with the inclusion of flowers, and one little sailboat in the water. Some of the parts of the sketch were challenging to illustrate, but I overcame my challenges overtime, and simplified some aspects of the original photo.
