  Last weeks assignment required us to make a sort of comic book. This was, in my opinion, extremely challenging due to the limitations that we were given. Essentially, we were given only 5 colors to draw with and no words. The assignment was about a recreation of a children's story tale. I thought I would do Winnie the Pooh. I originally thought about making Pooh a yellow and red square and Piglet a small pink cylinder, but because I would already be using more then half of my colors on just 2 characters, I decided to make the characters really detailed and the background colorful. This was really difficult because I quickly realized that showing emotions through facial expression is not simple. 

A simple raise of an eyebrow would change the entire expression of the character. This really humbled me

and made me appreciate artists more. The small subtitle details are what really gives life to the drawings.
