This drawing was part of a movement project. This was the sketch that was chosen to be the final piece. I also used different sized pigma graphics pens and sharpies to create the bold and fine lines. Along with the checkered pattern and stripe patterns for the background. I focused on bringing different elements and patterns to create a full and pleasing looking piece.

Ophelia is large in the center of the image and is floating in water, wearing a billowing white dress. This image includes art nouveau style framing around Ophelia and the background. In the background is a lake with a large willow tree with a broken branch. The branches of the willow tree are placed so they appear as a continuation of Ophelia's hair that is radiating out around her head. Around her torso is also a round art nouveau frame that includes illustrations of all of the flowers that she gave to others. The colors are bright and warm, and there is a sunset in the sky in the background. A small deer is also laying in the grass in the bottom right foreground.
