The title of my artwork is “Victor”. To me my artwork seems to resemble Frankenstein’s monster. Though with animal parts instead of human parts. I used an ink splat to make the “Monster”, then I used watercolor pencils and a brush with water on it to color in the body parts. I was inspired by the Montauk Monster. I had originally thought the Montauk Monster was an amalgamation of different animals but I was quite off. My goal was to be a decent artist in my last “piece”, and I think this helped me take at least one setup to becoming a better artist. In that it taught me to be more creative when making an art piece. One of my new goals however, is to be neater when trying to color things, since sometimes the watercolor ran into parts I did not want it too, and I kind of wore down the paper too much. The piece overall is kind of what I imagined. It did what wanted it to do, be a weird amalgamation of a bunch of animals. Though I wish there was more variety in the animal parts and I wish I did a better job on the eyes. I also believe the wings could look less bug like. It will influence me to be more careful when using water and to try and keep things from running into places I don’t want them to.
