For my Aborigine project I incorporated an astrological theme throughout the whole piece. Starting in the bottom right corner I drew the Gemini sign to represent because that’s my zodiac. Since Gemini is an air sign I also used cool toned colors throughout the whole piece. Above the Gemini sign I also drew the Gemini constellation. In the middle I drew a moon, this being the most detailed part of the piece. To the left of the moon I drew some wind to incorporate more of the air sign into my piece. Lastly, I drew the aboriginal symbol for star to add more of the Aborigine part of this project into my artwork.
When I first started this project I lacked inspiration and struggled to find a starting point on my blank canvas. Eventually I started by drawing the individual components of what I wanted first before looking at it as one big piece of art. I really enjoyed creating all the dots in this project and experimenting with different sizes and the feel you get from it. I found myself really relaxed as I drew this and loved how much detail you could get by just using dots. Once I was happy with how the individual pieces looked, I needed to find a way to connect everything together. I found that having a white brush stroke and having the outer glow effect was the best way to go about this. I was able to create many dots of different sizes throughout the canvas which helped pull everything together and also add texture to the piece itself. Overall I am really happy with how this turned out, especially the colors and astrological theme that was displayed throughout this piece.
