Description This was for the first, non-graded assignment in my Intermediate drawing I class.

As a way to start thinking about our first assignment, we were given a word to do with as we pleased. My word was 'disaster' and I had the idea of depicting not the chatastrophic, apocalyptic visions that normally come to mind, but instead a much more mundane, every-day kind of disaster.


Bleh, Pushed myself pretty hard not to waste too much time on this, considering it was a non-graded assignment... and yet it still ended up being 70+ layers... eugh, when will I learn.

I really want to re-visit this later sometime, the perspective worked out great, but the coloring, and lineart... not so much.

Credits:
Thanks to several splatter photoshop brush sets I went through to finally figure out the effect I wanted, and plastic texture that I found via google.

Oh, and if you can tell, the text showing through the paper is ofcourse Lorem ipsum [link]

XD That's just horrible. See I'm accustomed to life deciding to say "screw you, I'm gonna mess everything up and send ya into a tail-spin of frustration; mwahahahah!C:<" So when I work on stuff I've learned to try and have multiple copies in some form or another just in case.

yeah, basically 'Murphy's law' in a nutshell, it's good to be prepared for the worst

Yeah, quite happy with the perspective
just wish I had had more time to clean up the Linework and shading. ugh the shading is so messy, did it in like 20 mins cause it was late.
