Quarter 2 Art Project

During my years in high school I always saw artistic people drawing these shapes and patterns on a piece of paper, and to me, it looked so abstract and creative. I've always wanted to somehow mimic those designs yet, I never believed that I was artistic enough to do it until this project came along and I decided to do it. I remember seeing this picture that was half the face of a tiger, and the other half had crystals coming out of it. So i drew half a tiger's face and the other side, decided to draw the creative designs.

I'm not done yet but over the next quarter, I plan on outlining the tiger and coloring the other half with color pencil...and finishing the design.
As weird as this might sound, I found the project really challenging because I don't consider myself an artistic person so when it came to doing different designs, I found it really hard to do. I was worried that instead of looking abstract it would look clustered and just wrong. So before I even started it on the actual tiger, I drew an outline of a circle with a paint can and did different shapes in the circles.

After doing these I had the courage to start on the real thing, not because I was ready, but because I figured that you can't really plan out what to draw for things like this. So yeah, it was fun overall and I wouldn't mind doing it again. It's just frustrating trying to figure out how to fill up blank spaces. =]
