Inspiration Illustration: Illustrate an Important Event in Your Own Life

This project was actually quite enjoyable. I was actually able to fee a sense of relief with being able to be in my personal comfort zone. I started thinking of ideas that really stuck out in my life experiences, trying to stay away from the negative moments that most people recall quicker than happy moments. I try to be a positive person. So I thought back to the most recent moment in my life, which was when I found out I had won the Lowe's Carl Buchan Scholarship a second year in a row! How exciting, knowing the ease of stress of trying to come up with the funds on my own to actually make it through me senior year, well at least with tuition and supplies. That moment meant so much to me, not only was it the moment that I realized I'm really actually doing this, I am the first person who was actually able to find a way to go to college, more or less graduate. It was also the moment that I realized that I was fortunate enough to recieve a national scholarship two years in a row. That to me was amaizing, considering they only award 50 out of the whole nation. I really did feel on top of the world! I had reached for the stars, and felt like I could almost grasp one.

Here are some images of my beginning sketches and the final piece.
