My Museum Piece: Peace Pipe Dream

The angle and the camera quality of this piece is not that great at all, but I’m putting it up anyway just because it has been a VERY long time since I’ve posted anything and I felt like a slacker…

This was made with layered paper for the headdress, and strips of paper on the bead in the hair of this character. I sketched this with #2 pencil, and inked it with my go-to Sharpie pen. I didn’t to much shading because the time limit for this piece was 1 hour! So I kind of rushed. I used Blick colored pencils to color in this piece, and Blick charcoal to make the smoke. I actually don’t like Blick colored pencils, they are not nearly as pigmented as Prismacolor. I personally don’t recommend them. I signed up for a art program this summer, and I was able to have this piece put up in a museum. (the Milwaukee Jewish Museum) Mind you, this is in a small hallway and next to other amazing pieces of art. So, it’s legit, but not too legit if you know what I mean.

So, all in all this was a fun drawing to make and I apologize for the late update. Have a great time wherever you are 🙂
