Project 1: You Are What You Eat

 For my first Art four project I took inspiration from the theme "You are what you eat". 

  I started out with the idea of a obese man made of the many types of junk food that we consume. As I redrew my idea in my sketchbook it took a new shape.

   The idea came to me to have him be so gluttonous that not only was he becoming the food he was eating, but he had lost sight of what was human and what was food and became consuming himself.

After practicing with pen and ink and making my final draft, I choose to do my pen-and-ink on a large piece of paper. I decided to use cross-hatching in order to give the picture a more political-cartoon feel, and ended up with a art piece I am very proud of.

And that is my fat man.
