Final Project.

I decided to draw my final project. I consider myself the worst at drawing, I suck! But during my last days of being alive (since I knew I was gonna be gone pretty soon) I decided to draw something I normally wouldn't do. Why a tree? Why the colors?

I decided to draw a tree for a couple reasons. A tree represents nature, paradise and calamity. I wanted to leave this drawing as a reminder that I am in a better state in life; I'm in heaven, a paradise that there isn't any suffering or wickedness. Although my leaves have fallen (because of my illness) I leave a mark of hope and reassurance. My spirit will live on forever with the joyful memories my loved ones have. Just like a tree, I remain a strong presence and reminder of how amazing God truly is.

I choose to use gel pens, sharpies, and color pencils to illustrated my drawing. With a little help of editing in my computer I made the picture seem alive and full with color, just how trees look when it's autumn. I wanted to remind my loved ones that death isn't always a tragic thing. Instead, I wanted them to see my death as beautiful takeaway. My life was in God's hands and he decided it was time for me to stay with him forever.
