I decided to choose one of my favorite photos taken of my friend and I this past weekend at a dance competition. The theme was T-Rex arms so we both looked really awkward but had big smiles! I started off trying to make a myriad of things. I tried to use the dots as the main base and tried adding ripples to the photo to make it more interesting but while experimenting, I also ended up just making a lot of lines of different thicknesses. I wasn’t a big fan of how the lines and ripples(not seen in photo below) sometimes weren’t as accurate in getting the colors like the points did though. I ended up sticking to my points even though it was quite simple because I just loved the way it ended up depicting the image.
