Draw without fear - image 1 - student project

I started with this prompt. I had fun doing it, I'm not often doing abstract, and I think this can really inspire me for other illustrations. I enjoyed using wax pastels to make those kind of pink/blue/red waves. I like the black, contrasting with other colours, but I don't like the brown

I did not use a new sketchbook because I used to have a lot of unfinished sketchbooks/notebooks and it makes me feel bad, I prefer to put everything in this one now. I took some thick paper (for painting) and stick it, but I didn't allow myself to erase or to restart a drawing.

The autoportrait with eyes closed is.... well, funny. Haha

I like the one with the left hand, it's shaky, but I think I wouldn't have a drawing as right with my right hand.

Drawing according to a song feels like "art therapy". It's soothing

I enjoyed this exercice ! It's tricky because it's not easy to find a lot of different representations of one thing, and I think I didn't spend enough time of it, but I really like the geometric oryx I drew. I will use this geometrical line for other illustrations

Thanks a lot Marie-Noëlle !
