This project represents a sort of "Juxtaposition" style art. This picture is supposed to be an old western type of media. I used fine tip markers as my media, and line as my technique. I really like using specific line work in my art pieces because it gives me more freedom to demonstrate what I am representing. My line work defines what I draw to give the drawing purpose in the eyes of the viewer. The idea of "Steampunk" might come to mind when one looks about this image. The wagon would not normally have an engine on it because of its time period. I researched some of the machinery used back in this time period (1890's) and found that the way I made the wagon looked uniform to that of other forms of technology. My experience throughout this piece was amazing. There is a grainy style filter on the final piece. This effect I created by using an airbrush after I finished all the ink-work. The only reason I used this effect was because one of my classmates splattered some orange paint on it by accident. This sparked the idea of making this image look as if it belonged on the side of a saloon as some sort of poster. The purpose for the lines in this project was for me to experiment with different weights and textures to make a photo realistic type of cartoon.
