My inspiration for this piece was my grandmother that has passed she loves pigs and so do I.
I started off sketching my pig out on the canvas then painted my back ground grey. Then I started painting my pig pink then l added his black dots and short strokes to make it look like he was furry with white paint. I also used different color pinks.

Mandala means universe and l did a dark colors in the back ground to represent negative and the mandala is white to show positive. you will always find positive in something negative.

My process I went through to create this was l sketched it out then l shaded everything to make it look 3D.
Rainbow Ice Cream
​
My inspiration for this piece was my love for ice cream. Ice cream is my favorite snack specially in the summer time.
I started off sketching and trying to figure out how to make it look realistic. Then I sketched it onto my paper and then colored it in oil pastels. After I was done with the ice cream I started to color a dark back ground with the pastels.
Stop Drug Trafficking
​
My inspiration for this piece was my art teacher Mrs. McIver. I struggled with this assignment and she come up with the idea.
I started off with sketches then I used water paint for the back ground and the road. Then I took acrylic paint and painted the drugs and over the stop sign. After this I needed a quote to fill in negative space on my paper, so I did a quote in pen and ink that came from one of my fellow class mates.
Sunset
​
My inspiration for this piece was my grandpa because our favorite place is the beach and every time we go down to the beach we watch the sunset.
I started with a back ground and worked different sunset colors into the sun and put them on the water as well. Then I painted pampas grass on the sides and on the bottom of my paper.
Cupcake
​
My inspiration for this piece is my love for cupcakes. My mema makes me cupcakes every year for my birthday. I would rather have cupcakes over a cake any day.
I started off sketching the cupcake on my paper then I outlined it with pen and ink. Then I added lines from thick to thin to make it look 3D.
