My Friend, Mr. Bug
Assignment: Design and render an environment in the marker method. I used to be afraid of my closet as a kid, so I decided to design a little girl’s room with the inclusion of a sinister friend…
I knew I wanted moonlight to be the main source of light, so having an open window was central to the planning of this layout.
I realized that too much bug was visible for it to be as sinister as I wanted. I liked the idea of leaving the scary details up to the viewer’s imagination.
I balanced the main elements with small details of the carefully planned mess of a little girl’s room.
To further the narrative, I included storytelling elements in the little girl’s drawings on the wall.
With the moonlight being blue, rosy pinks and other warm colors complemented the color palette, and was fitting for the aesthetic of a little girl.
The finished piece.
