serenity

 I went to the park today. I was sitting around with a friend, talking and listening to music. The world has been relentlessly lately. It feels like it just doesn't stop. There's no pause button on it ever and all the good days are getting confused for the bad ones. I looked at the sky and tried to recreate the colors I saw in it. As Lupton writes, "Including both warm and cool hues in a color palette creates a sense of visual completeness, like a salad with a full range of flavors and textures" (Lupton, 90). The sky today was setting with cool blues on the top and lots of pretty oranges and light pinks towards the area where it was setting. All the colors are  dulled out a bit since I want to convey a sense of peace with this drawing. The "wind" is blowing softly and sky is setting. You can come up with whatever this person is listening to. Maybe some soft piano? The character in the front is only flat colors since I wanted the softness of the sky to come through from the background.

You can tell the drawing is a little outdated since the earbuds are wired. I wanted to keep them wired since it definitely helps show that the "wind" is blowing. I think the person looks at peace and is feeling a sense of calm in these overwhelming times.
