She's finished! I'm really really proud of how it turned out to be honest. I'm still not sure how it's going to be received but it looks like how I wanted it to look in my head. I think the story kind of lands, but I think the messiness of it might not. I sprayed it with fixative but something about that mechanical pencil really doesn't want to stay in place. I also added some pops of highlighter to the images which I feel like brings them together pretty well. I didn't keep with a super consistent style while drawing them which I was unsure about, but I like how it turned out. I really love the ballroom drawing and I definitely want my next piece to incorporate the graphite grid like a blueprint under the main image. Dare I say it.... I think this is definitely the direction I want to move in with my future pieces. I love sculpture, but I really enjoyed making this piece, and it was definitely a lot easier and my final product was a lot closer to what I originally imagined than how my sculptures usually turn out.

It's coming along! Up close there are a lot of imperfections in the layout but I really like it that way- it gives me a "scribbled in the coat closet" kind of feeling, almost as if the scientist wrote it themselves. I do think that the style of each drawing is kind of different and not as cohesive as it could be, but I think once I add the highlighter to each image it'll draw things more together. I'm not sure how much shading I should put into them because I want the pictures to stay kind of basic, but I feel like I shouldn't leave them too simple. For example, I shaded the van because I wanted it to be black but now I feel like I should shade the other images too, but I don't think I'm going to do that.
I'm so excited for this piece!! It's very much inspired by the Deb Sokolow's work and just the general vibe I get from it. I've written the story and I'm attempting to make commentary about the short sightedness of humans as a society and how they only think about turning a profit. I really hope that the story gets the message across, because I feel like the message could either hit the mark or totally miss. I really like the combination of the graphite and the highlighter together, and the color gives it a sci-fi feel.
