Journey Final, Spring 2012

Climb Every Mountain

This was the final for my Foundations Drawing II class!  For this project, we had to depict a journey by using three different points of view, and they all had to be on one piece of paper.  Initially, this was pretty difficult for me to figure out how to draw, but once I came up with my idea, I just sat down and sketched everything out, and liked what I saw.  The journey that I chose was the last morning of my mission trip/conference in Colorado.  Along with a small group of people equally as crazy as me, we woke up at 4:30 in the morning so that we could climb a mountain, and watch the sunset.  We made it to the top just as the sun was beginning to peek over the tops of the mountains, and the entire view was breathtaking.  I used mostly soft pastels in this piece, and a little colored pencil.  This drawing in itself not including any of the planning took around 20 total hours, and they were all worth it!  My favorite parts are once again having to do with the different textures, and how they show how this year I was able to really loosen up my style, and figure out how different things work.  There was a lot of experimentation in this piece as well.
